The result was   delete. The general consensus here seems to be that this individual, while associated with some notable works, has nonetheless not received the significant coverage himself that would demonstrate notability under our guidelines. ~ mazca  talk 12:07, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

This is not the subject of coverage by unrelated parties, and fails both WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. He is given only passing mention in reliable sources, and only the subject and related parties give him substantial coverage. No claim or accomplishment, even unsourced, rises to encyclopedic notability. This article seems to exist thanks to the subject himself. JFHJr (㊟) 01:21, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong delete - non-notable author, no substantive coverage. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  14:55, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, concur with the above, a promotional BLP subject to puffery and COI editing (original BLP notification here), popped back up on my radar through recent changes, the guy has written a book that does not seem to have garnered any significant reviews, and an IP was adding back links to the Amazon page selling the book, Imdb and the subject's own website (see version here, notably reflist).

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR, bio is apparently merely promotional. § FreeRangeFrog croak 18:13, 16 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Strong delete per the above - vanity bio? ukexpat (talk) 18:54, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Question per the above - I have been editing this page and am quite new to wikipedia. I am not sure what I have done to cause his page to need to be deleted. Please advise. I am a fan of his radio show and thought I would update his page but this seems to have caused issues. (talk) 16 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep As noted directly above I am new to wikipedia and still learning the ropes. If I added things I shouldn't have or entered things incorrectly I am more than willing to fix them.  I am learning as I go.  Please let me know if there are further issues with the page but I believe I have resolved them all.  I have cited outside sources, established notability (he was a Vice President of ABC and Executive Producer of several series - two of which received important awards, he has a radio show (of which I personally am a fan).  This page was created some time ago and I fear my edits may have caused it to be nominated for deletion. BwilsonCVA (talk) 00:14, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't worry. I looked at old versions before nominating, and I hope others peeked around before !voting. Generally, fixable problems aren't reasons to delete. We're not evaluating your work, but the subject of the article. Rising to a high corporate office or being the producer of an award winning show aren't inherently notable. Notability is usually about third-party coverage. Have a read at WP:42 and WP:BASIC for more. JFHJr (㊟) 00:31, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * On the page about establishing notability it said if the person received awards or recognition in their field that was enough to establish notability. Why are his awards not enough to do that? BwilsonCVA (talk) 16:16, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Whose awards? Has Burce Sallan received any awards? JFHJr (㊟) 04:09, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The shows he has produced have won awards. Is that not a recognition of his work? BwilsonCVA (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * reply - Nope: otherwise, everybody involved with the shows could make an argument for notability: see WP:NOTCONTAGIOUS. Lincoln is clearly notable; his dog might be notable; his dog's vetinarian: not notable! -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  18:10, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
