 * Keep There's a tremendous amount of coverage of his role as television station and radio station head as well as property owner. FloridaArmy (talk) 10:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, FloridaArmy, That about is companies, is there any explicity regarding him. I can't see much outside coverage. scope_creep (talk) 16:47, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * He is the founder and owner of his companies. What kind of coverage do you want? Here's one of the many many articles discussing his television station, radio stations, property developments, lawsuits and other interests. You don't want a businessman to be covered in relation to their business activities? FloridaArmy (talk) 17:01, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I simply want to see coverage which is not of his companies but about the man himself. There is a crucial and fundamental difference. Otherwise it will be a delete or redirect. The reference you provided is not valid, but that is in the right direction.
 * Why is it not valid? How aboit all the Crains articles? Or Detroit Free Press coverage? FloridaArmy (talk) 18:50, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Apologies it is valid. I thought it was a blog. The Crains ref is about his business dealings. If there is no clear differentiation between the man himself and his business interests, why have a seperate article about him. There must be clear differention. He hasn't sufficient standalone notability for his own article. scope_creep (talk) 21:04, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - several articles about the subject's company are not sufficient to bestow notability on the subject. Notability is not inherited.--Rpclod (talk) 02:21, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm seeing references about his companies; I am not seeing references about him, nor any sign why there should be references about him. --Calton | Talk 17:03, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination and per User:Rpclod. Fails WP:BIO. I see that a sockpuppet has begun re-adding the poorly sourced fluff that was removed earlier about his car collecting being "avid", along with his parents' names and the hospital he was born in, unsourced. The Mighty Glen (talk) 19:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Admittedly one of the more eccentric local media owners out there (especially for letting a slam-dunk CBS affiliation go based on outrageous demands), but his fame is very localized (and mostly paid for) to metro Detroit, so once you get out of southeastern Michigan you're not going to find much about this subject. At most, a weak redirect to WADL (TV) can be considered, but I wouldn't be annoyed one way or the other if this was turned into a redlink.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 20:10, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe that the information and citations offered in this profile provide factual information required to support and meet the tenets of WP:5P1 Further, that personal content on the profile falls within the guidelines of WP:5P5 specifically with mention to improving articles.

 * Delete: does not meet WP:ANYBIO and significant RS coverage not found. Coverage is WP:SPIP, passing mentions and / or hyper-local. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:11, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
