No indication of notability according to Creative; sources are all articles in local free newspaper written by subject, and there's no significant coverage of him online in WP:Secondary, WP:Reliable sources. The Miami corruption scandal was covered in other papers, and I can find no evidence online that he broke the story or contributed significantly to the investigation. Proposed deletion in August 2012 by was contested by article creator. Tone is significantly less promotional now, but notability issues remain. Ruby  Murray  17:24, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Sources fail WP:RS. A Google failed to yield anything that rings the notability bell. Subject fails WP:NJOURNALIST. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:46, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete appears to fail WP:GNG at this time.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:18, 16 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Article improved with secondary sources added.--Leah278 (talk) 06:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC) — Leah278 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep Contrary to Ruby Murray's assertion, I was able to find in Lexis-Nexis search of stories on scandal that subject did in fact contribute significantly (and extensively) to story about the corruption in Miami Beach, not Miami (let's be accurate, people). Murray's challenge fails.  Re:  reference source to Graham interview, there can't be a more reliable source than former Senator Graham posting it on his own blogsite, can there be?  So Paul McDonald's WP:GNG challenge fails on that merit.  .--EagleEyedExpert (talk) 07:29, 23 April 2014 (UTC) — EagleEyedExpert (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment Nope. Still nothing that rings the notability bell here. And blogs are not WP:RS sources. It doesn't matter who writes them. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:26, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Concurr I agree with Ad Orientem. Blogs typically are not the type of sources necessary to achieve notability.  I'd like to find a path to notability for this article, but I just don't see it yet either.  The article is improved and userfy could be an option at this point.  Still fails WP:GNG at this point.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:44, 23 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
