Subject fails notability threshold under GNG and JOURNALIST. He is one of many, many local US TV News/Sports/Weather on-air talent. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 19:05, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Stongest possible keep there is LOTS of coverage of this individual's work as a sportscaster, his books, and his illness. Here's just one example. His Micky Ward book helped inspire the movie and is widely reviewed. I don't understand this nom. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:01, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment- The Fighter is NOT inspired by Halloran's book, but was inspired by High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell. Halloran worked as a consultant on The Fighter. That's not a ticket to notability. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 02:49, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * According to reliable sources Halloran's book DID inspire aspects of the movie and is credited in it. This author was a consultant on it and a Whitey Bulger film, another subject he wrote a book about. See here. FloridaArmy (talk) 13:02, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The most that can be said, based on that source, is that he wrote some book. Not a ticket to notability still. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 21:26, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
