Most of the available sources aren't independent of the subject and the remaining few don't make general notability. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 00:53, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Local radio personalities whose notability is limited to a single media market might occasionally get Wikipedia articles for that, if those articles can be reliably sourced really well — but they're not automatically entitled to that if there are just four sources of which two are primary sources and the other two just verify that he exists and don't support any particular reason why his existence would warrant the attention of an encyclopedia. I see that claims of greater notability have been made in the edit summaries of past edits, without ever finding their way into the text or the sourcing of the article — I might be willing to revisit this if they get added and properly sourced, but an article doesn't get kept just because an unsourced claim of notability is made somewhere other than in the article itself.

 * Delete. Simply not enough information available to warrant a unique article. Also, great argument by Bearcat. KMJKWhite (talk) 15:02, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
