Kate Kelly (radio)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a single-market radio personality with no demonstration of wider notability outside of her own market, and no reliable sourcing. The only reference here is her own primary source staff profile on the website of her own employer, and even that was a dead link when I just tried it two minutes ago — and if I back up to the station's main website and check their staff directory from there, she's not listed anywhere on it. (Yet, weirdly, this is an WP:AUTOBIO going by the edit summary on the page's creation — and while a Google check on "Kate Kelly WKXV" does bring up some Facebook posts confirming her employment there, they deadlink when you try to click on them too. So my working theory, for the moment, is that she quit or got fired from the station last week, thought that creating a Wikipedia article about herself would help her get a new job faster because it shows how important she is or something, and didn't bank on her staff profile disappearing so quickly either.) As always, however, all radio personalities who exist are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because of that existence, especially if they're creating the page themselves — they must be the subject of reliable source coverage, in media independent of their own paycheck provider, which attests to their passage of an actual notability criterion, because we're not a free PR platform or an alternative to LinkedIn.
