 * Cautious Delete This one is problematic because the name "Howard Schwartz" is so common that searching for sources is difficult and time-consuming.  For example, there are a number of people by the name of "Howard Schwartz" who may be notable, including, bizarrely as it may sound, one who has worked in a related industry, see: .  But a search for "Howard Schwartz"+ CJAY-FM comes up with no google news archive hits, which is why I say delete.  Cazort (talk) 02:11, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as autobiography; article was started by a username that matches the name of the article. Qqqqqq (talk) 00:37, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ho hum Keep: Notwithstanding that the article was written by the subject, it maintains WP:NPOV and avoids WP:PEACOCK. It passes WP:N and WP:ENTERTAINER. It needs some references to back up the assertions of notability claimed. Here is one, but I really had to dig for it. Perhaps the author can provide some more.--It's me...Sallicio!$\color{Red} \oplus$ 03:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Leaning Towards Delete - You also have to take into account that this cites nowhere near enough sources for a BLP. I don't know... it's a toss-up for me--Unionhawk Talk 00:40, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
