Fails GNG and JOURNALIST, in terms of notability. He's an on-air journalist (as was I), and hosts a show on a TV station that does not have national reach or significance. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 23:02, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep host of a notable TV show for 11 years (Chronicle) and has reliable sources coverage. Atlantic306 (talk) 13:21, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Host of a show that is only notable and/or seen in a small, specific geographical area, with no national distribution. That speaks nothing as to this person's notability on a wider, geographic non-specific level. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 20:48, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Boston is not a small geographical area but is a major city Atlantic306 (talk) 14:08, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete A bare minimum biography of non notable journalist which lacks significant coverage to pass WP:GNG and doesn't have any special achievement to pass WP:JOURNALIST. Being host of notable show doesn't automatically make him notable because notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Being there for 11 also cannot make him notable.

 * Delete While Boston is a major city, hosting a show in a local market, even a very large one, just is not enough to make someone notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:25, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep As defined in the WP:N nutshell, Wikipedia's notable topics are, "those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time".  This is a career newscaster who moved from being TV anchor to anchor for a successful regional 60 Minutes knockoff.  Local TV anchors in my experience are household names remembered for decades.  In objective terms, TV stations have viewership.  What this means in Wikipedia's notability is that TV anchors get a contribution to the overall measure of their notability by the direct attention to the topic by viewers.  This is a topic that is a part of the history of Boston's TV viewers as a part of the history of WCVB-TV.  The topic is covered elsewhere in the encyclopedia, which was not mentioned in the nomination although such analysis is directed in WP:BEFORE B5.  Unscintillating (talk) 17:05, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment": You killed your own argument, Unscintillating, when you cited WP:N. Boston is not the world, and the world is not Boston. The rest of the world is not at Boston's beck and call, and this person's claim to fame only existed in Boston, and amongst a limited subset of Bostonians as well. It's quite a stretch to say he has gained significant attention by the world at large because of his work in Boston. He means absolutely nothing elsewhere.

 * Delete -- an unremarkable news anchor; no indications of notability or signifance. Sources are routine / in passing. Fails WP:SIGCOV / WP:ANYBIO. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:34, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Not every local news anchor/TV presenter is notable, and the article shows no evidence that he is anything other than that. MelanieN (talk) 03:50, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
