Mark Bonto
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Normally I wouldn't nominate this for AfD just three months after surviving a previous AfD, but despite much research, I can't establish the notability claimed by the previous two keep !votes. Amazon only shows one published book, 78 pages and published by PublishAmerica, a vanity press. Although the article claims he's won "several major comedy competitions", the subject's own website doesn't support this claim (lists awards like winning a military talent show - hardly a major comedy competition). His television show is a public access show -- his website says it's carried in five markets, but a gsearch isn't confirming that, nor does it turn up any information about the PACE award won for the show. The subject's website also claims awards won at the Flint Film Festival, but gnews and gsearch isn't confirming this, nor does this appear to be a major film festival.

 * Delete: As per nom. "Non-notable". Proxy User (talk) 13:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator's research. The previous AfD really should have been extended to gather more consensus, IMHO. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
