Al Cole and the People of Distinction Broadcasting Network

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Advertorially-toned WP:BLP of a writer and radio host, sourced almost entirely to primary (own webpage, a press release) and unreliable (Blogspot) sources. The only source here that lifts him even slightly into the realm of reliable source coverage is a blurb on the Huffington Post — but that's not enough to get a person into Wikipedia if it's the best you can do for sourcing. There's certainly enough of a potential claim of notability here that he would probably qualify for a properly written and properly sourced article, but nobody, regardless of their notability claim, ever gets to keep an article that's sourced this badly or that's written as a public relations profile rather than an encyclopedia article.

 * Delete Both...Al Cole (talk show host) and Al Cole and the People of Distinction Broadcasting Network per nom. -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 23:34, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete both There's no way this person has ever worked for CBS Radio (if they were their CBS Radio-hosted bio would be on top of Google); this is someone who has probably bought time under a brokered programming arrangement on a CBS Radio station, then takes money for C and Z-listers to be featured in a fluff show/segment hosted by them in a major market, usually on the weekends when few listen to the radio.

 * Delete as I found nothing better than a few blogs, nothing convincingly better. SwisterTwister   talk  04:58, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
