 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Article about an "Entrepreneur and former employee of the Missouri Republican Party" that claims notability as a sports blogger. I can find no significant coverage of the subject that could establish basic notability. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:34, 2 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Noted Editor of the Facebook.com/PaulFinebaum page. Often cited on-air by Paul Finebaum. That's noteworthy sports blogging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jl pledger (talk • contribs) 23:53, 2 November 2013 (UTC)


 * The qualifications for notability ask for someone to be famous and not irrelevant. Pledger(no relation) currently writes commentary read regularly by almost 15-thousand people as a service for the Paul Finebaum radio network and is a regular subject of conversation on air by both Finebaum and most of his callers(who make up the lion's share of the shows content). While certainly not the most famous and least irrelevant person, the subject meets the qualifications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jl pledger (talk • contribs) 00:11, 3 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm brand new to Wikipedia editing, but I'll attest to his fame. I live in Tennessee and I hear him talked about on the radio all the time.FinebaumListener (talk) 00:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC) — User:FinebaumListener (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete From what I can see the references are also the external links to his facebook, twitter and personal websites. His claim to fame is helping someone run, unsuccessfully for office in his home town.  Perhaps he will warrant a page in the future but not yet. PeteBaltar (talk) 01:29, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

KEEP I've never heard of this guy, but I've heard of Paul Finebaum, the radio guy he does work for and is talked about, then he's noteworthy enough, as his show is huge on the radio in the south, and as much of a key part of his show that his listeners are, including this guy, he's got significant influence. Furthermore, his link to a fan page seems legit, and his 15-thousand followers there seem pretty interactive. I'd say enough people know him to for him to be regionally famous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SouthernSaint (talk • contribs) 17:38, 3 November 2013 (UTC) — SouthernSaint (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Just because a radio show you know of mentions him doesn't mean he deserves a Wikipedia entry, likewise we need verifiable evidence, not claims. WP:NRV PeteBaltar (talk) 04:32, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Wikipedia's inclusion criteria specifies that Pledger should have significant coverage in independent reliable sources. I see no evidence of such coverage presented in the article, nor am I able to find any such coverage myself. -- Whpq (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
