Declined speedy. Local weather reporter. Fails WP:BIO, not subject of published secondary source material in WP:RS. Fails WP:CREATIVE, not regarded as an important figure nor widely cited by peers. No awards or nominations. Tassedethe (talk) 08:34, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. He may not be known to you but that doesn't mean he is not well known. I know Americans who do the same job whose articles on this website wouldn't even be disputed. NorthernThunder (talk) 10:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

* delete The only biography I can find of him is on CTV's site. He is cited in one news article from someplace other than CTV, but it looks like a passing mention (behind a pay wall). If someone can find a solid third-party RS, I'd be happy to change. Hobit (talk) 12:48, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Given cites below, I'm no longer sure. They are weak, but not a clear delete IMO.

 * Delete. Besides the CTV bio (thus neither independent nor NPOV) there are only passing mentions with no information for a V, NOR, NPOV article. Double Blue  (Talk) 07:18, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Argument WP:WAX should not be used, as each article much prove notability for itself and not be included simply because there is another article like it. So I made a search: rogerstv.com shows a certain notability, pbase.com shows coverage and interest, IMDB shows a filmology, movie.pri.ee shows one of his recent films has a notability, stephen-roberts.com shows an interest in his special field reports. There is likely more.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * All but the movie itself aren't RSs that I can tell (blog, non-third party, etc.). That said, nice job finding that much.  I'll strike my vote.  If you find anything better, please contact me via my talk page and I'll go keep. Hobit (talk) 03:20, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak delete. Lack of non-trivial coverage. Stifle (talk) 08:07, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 11:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep One of CTV/weather channel's core weathermen. The most gentlemanly of them all! He is going up all the time in ratings. And he just got married! Ron B. Thomson (talk) 20:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
