Delete. WP:BLP of a local radio host in a single media market, with no strong claim of wider notability per WP:CREATIVE and no particularly strong sourcing to get him over WP:GNG instead -- of the sources here, three are a radio industry trade magazine, and the other one is a weekly newspaper rather than a daily one. Any of these sources would be acceptable as supplementary sources in an article that had a much more solid range of sourcing around it, but none of them are bringers of GNG in and of themselves if they're the best you can do for sourcing -- and the claims they support are insignificant technological firsts, like "first radio broadcast ever to use audio recorded on a smart watch", that really aren't all that encyclopedically noteworthy.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete per nom. WP:SIGCOV is not met. The little coverage/references that are provided are (per nom) on websites with a very limited scope. I would also note that the two articles on RadioToday.ie and RadioToday.co.uk, (which mention Anthony Martin) look to be press release extracts by the same contributor (both by Roy Martin). Per nom, these wouldn't seem to meet SIGCOV in reliable sources. The mention in the IrishPost.ie article is not significant. (Per SIGCOV, ideally sources used to establish notability would be articles that cover the subject specifically. Not articles on other topics that might mention the subject fleetingly. Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E: "being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article".) Guliolopez (talk) 09:23, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
