Non-notable person, fails WP:GNG as coverage is small and localised. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:30, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. There's certainly coverage, but like the nom says, it's very local.  For example:  from KQED and  from SF Weekly.  He seems to have been nominated for an Regional Emmy in 2001 (warning, PDF file) and won in 2015 (warning, another PDF file).  I assume that a Regional Emmy would satisfy WP:ANYBIO criterion #1, but does it matter that it's a Regional Emmy? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:04, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Well, I asked at WT:TV whether a regional Emmy satisfies WP:ANYBIO #1, and nobody responded.  So, I guess that means I'll have to use my own judgment.  I say... yes.  But I'm open to counter-arguments. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:52, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best for now as simply none of this solidly satisfies the applicable notability, still questionable for better improvements and there's nothing convincing to solidly keep. SwisterTwister   talk  22:19, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Well known in California. Needs more work but should not be deleted.Bruriyah (talk) 20:51, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Well, I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and I never heard of him, but in any case claiming that he is "well known" without proof via sources isn't sufficient. The sources here, by the way, are really poor. The source that supposedly supports the statement about local emmy's does not mention emmys nor him (except in a photo caption). The two about the Opera event are the same article run in different papers, and it's nothing but a name check. Then there are two interviews - one in which he is the interviewer (and does not inherit notability from the interviewee, BTW) and the other in which he is the interviewee. Neither support notability. And the Fong-Torres article is another namecheck, describing an event he attended where he happened to be attending with Mayclem. So nada, bupkis, niente. A search in the SF Chronicle does pull up articles with his name, but again they are only mentions. LaMona (talk) 00:46, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. A regional Emmy doesn't mean notability. That an editor claims someone is well-known doesn't mean much here. Drmies (talk) 03:05, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not notable, coverage is purely local with only the regional Emmy. Chrisw80 (talk) 04:14, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
