Reporter does not appear to meet notability guidelines. No strong sources other than those he's worked for. user:Aaron BruceUser_talk:Aaron Bruce/Special:Contributions/Aaron Bruce 14:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability not established. Sources provided only mention subject in passing, or are written by subject. DarkAudit (talk) 15:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment sum ppl wid less notybilly-t r on here XCharltonTilliDieX (talk) 16:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps they need to be deleted as well. That isn't the standard we use; see What about x?. Also, please use English when commenting. --Dhartung | Talk 20:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Granted the article isn't about Jimmy Wales's favorite South African eatery, but it is about a broadcaster who is heard nationwide (in the US) on Texas Tech Sports Radio. →Wordbuilder (talk) 16:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * A sideline reporter is not notable merely by being such. There is nothing to show that he has risen to any level of notability above and beyond that. DarkAudit (talk) 16:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Reporters are non-notable or certain "levels" of reporters are non-notable? →Wordbuilder (talk) 16:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course these are all subject to finding a consensus which is the point of this discussion, but most people who browse these discussions tend to keep these in mind (I assume...) WP:BIO. user:Aaron BruceUser_talk:Aaron Bruce/Special:Contributions/Aaron Bruce 16:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Most college broadcasters use local talent for out-of-booth reporting. Nothing here that makes him stand out even amongst other Big XII broadcast teams. "Nationwide" in this case is parsing at best. Nearly every major college broadcaster has a "nationwide" presence these days, thanks to the internet and satellite radio. Nothing here either that sets him apart. DarkAudit (talk) 16:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep In terms of Kappa Kappa Psi history, Texas Tech Goin Band history, as well as Texas Tech athletics history he is worthy of note, not just because he works in radio. Having been the first person representing the band and kappa kappa psi to have won homecoming king in the school's history, in addition to founding the fro bros.  User:Jmcstrav
 * None of those are encyclopedia-worthy accomplishments. DarkAudit (talk) 18:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps his name here would be a decent start Kappa_Kappa_Psi user:Aaron BruceUser_talk:Aaron Bruce/Special:Contributions/Aaron Bruce 19:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really. The accomplishments are only notable as far as Texas Tech is concerned, if even that. DarkAudit (talk) 19:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment this article would be fine for TexasTechepida, but not Wikipedia.--Rtphokie (talk) 13:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Young broadcast journalist with no obvious claim to notability. May deserve plaques in various campus locations, but falls well short of WP:BIO. --Dhartung | Talk 20:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BIO  Gtstricky Talk or C 21:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete of local interest only to Texas Tech sports fans. the major announcer/spokesman, on the other hand, would have some general recognition among football fans. Does anyone really think he's at the top level of his profession? DGG (talk) 16:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, article does not establish notability, references are trivial.--Rtphokie (talk) 13:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
