A while ago, I proposed deletion of the article but the prod tag was removed. I still don't see a good reason to keep the article. It's about a local radio host and there are no third-party references on which to build an article. The article is promotional in tone and in fact has been heavily edited by. (Incidentally this Larry Norton is notable if anyone wants to write a stub) Pichpich (talk) 04:25, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Some notability, but article needs a lot of work and there doesn't appear to be enough independent coverage to merit inclusion. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:01, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Although there may be notability, it is indeed small and there is a great need for third-party references. The individual is simply not considered known or important enough to be included in an encyclopaedia. Royalhistorian (talk) 06:25, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete subject lacks notability. Yes he's received some coverage for the Guiness world recordbut WP:ONEEVENT seems to apply here.--Rtphokie (talk) 12:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * CommentI was notified by a listener to our radio show that my biography is up for deletion. I don't know why, but I can attest to the fact that this a true and accurate summary of my life. I am still on the radio at WGRF 97 Rock in Buffalo, NY. Thank You, Larry Norton (reposting from discussion page) Posted there by user:Larrynorton97
