 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST KidAd (talk) 02:11, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Major news anchor in a major media market. Plenty of sources out there if you look, including pre-death. Suggest expansion of article instead of deleting. Andise1 (talk) 03:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:JOURNALIST. I looked for "plenty of sources" and found nothing. GSearch had barely four pages of results and the majority of them were about his death, which does not establish notability. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  05:57, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Look, this guy has won a Peabody award and an Emmy. I agree that being a news anchor in a major market is not evidence of notability alone, but winning awards is, and this guy won awards. User 73.36.79.67  23:10, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep He seems to be notable in his field based on the awards he has won. Article needs expansion.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:07, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep WP:Anybio 1.The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times. He one an Emmy in 2011 and nominated 2013. Found this in a few secs of Google search!User:Davidstewartharvey
 * Keep Please stop with these ghoulish 'subject has died, let's also remove the article' nominations. Expansion is needed, not deletion.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 19:12, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Some articles need Destubbing rather then deletion. With a little expansion, it could have enough sources to prove notability. Red  River  660   talk  19:09, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
