This biography of a living person has been without any sources for over 4 years. We should remove all statements as unreferenced violations of BLP policy. Beyond that, even if the article is accurate, Grierson is just a local talk radio show hosts. No indication he rises to the level of being notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:56, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, I just noticed Grierson is dead. I guess the BLP issues do not apply. Still it is an unsourced article about a person who appears to just be a local broadcaster.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:01, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

 * The article does, for the record, make the claim that he hosted a nationally-aired network program on CBC Radio in the 1980s. So he would certainly pass WP:NMEDIA on that basis...if the claim were properly sourced. I agree that it's definitely deletion bait in this state (unreferenced, and edging seriously into personal reminiscence by a colleague), though. I'll take a spin through ProQuest to see if there's enough referencing to salvage this with — so I'll come back to give an official "keep" or "delete" in a few minutes once I know what the prospects are.

 * Okay, there's enough about him to do a salvage here. Keep, I'll work on cleaning it up. Bearcat (talk) 02:36, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Some cleanup for both tone and referencing now done. Bearcat (talk) 03:36, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
