John Taylor (fitness coach)

The subject does not seem to be notable. He appeared as a fitness coach in a reality TV series, but the cast members of this show do not seem to be particularly notable. The bulk of the sources are self references or press release type articles in alumni newsletters. There does not seem to be broad coverage of the subject. Winning state charter school teacher of the year is not a significant prize. There are WP:AUTO concerns, but I don't think the subject is notable enough regardless of who wrote the article. only (talk) 17:33, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Too Fat for 15 is the only reality weight loss show to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy, and the subject was the star of the show. How many other reality stars from cancelled shows have articles written about them? Additionally, per the NJ Dept. of Education, 35% of all public school students attend charter schools. As a result, the award is much bigger than some give it credit for. The subject also received awards and recognition from Michele Obama's Let's Move campaign and the President's Council on Physical Fitness. E! News also named him America's Most Knowledgeable Fitness Personality while on Too Fat for 15. Those accolades make the subject noteworthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.54.94.134 (talk) 01:35, 8 August 2017 (UTC) — 173.54.94.134 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Note: the IP address geolocates to the town in which John Taylor lives. Based on the WP:AUTO concerns of the writing of the article, this is important to note in considering this comment. only (talk) 02:12, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * And to address some of the points: just because the show was Emmy nominated (for Daytime Emmy Special Class Series) doesn't mean the "star" of the show is notable. The winning of the charter school award is not notable; we do not have articles on all 50 teachers of the year in every state's public schools let alone charter schools.  (Also, I don't know where you get 35% from; the state's data says about 3.3% attend charters).  The awards from the Let's Move / President's Council are not significant awards.  And I am not able to find any reliable source that supports you being named "Most Knowledgeable Fitness Personality." All I find via Google are your LinkedIn/Twitter, and a press release.  only (talk) 02:45, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
