 * Delete Sources are nearly all namechecks, although he did win this one contest of dubious distinction. However, I don't see any indepth information about him anywhere, only this contest (and I can find more info about the contest than about him). It's pretty much a wp:blp1e.

 * Delete Nothing to indicate notability, and essentially a promotional article, even if not so blatant as to justify speedy deletion, sourced largely to promotional pages. Even the claim that he won the title "America's Favorite Veterinarian" does not stand up to examination: because of controversy, the contest was called off, and the title given to all the finalists. (Also, it is doubtful that the title would in any case be an indication of significance: the contest appears to be a promotional event by an organisation without evident importance.)

 * Delete: Does not establish notability. Article seems to be promotional. Delta13C (talk) 20:22, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
