I can't find significant coverage for this reporter. Joe Chill (talk) 01:50, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


 * KEEP, We're talking about Mary Stoker Smith the evening anchor for KYW-TV in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Well she may not be Barbra Walters or Bryant Gumbel, but to many she's Mary Stoker Smith, a familiar face on the tube. I think her status is notable.* These people think so - http://www.lauranachman.net/?p=2523 (Milestokilo (talk) 12:18, 15 February 2010 (UTC)) (Milestokilo (talk) 12:20, 15 February 2010 (UTC))
 * Delete - I can't find any significant coverage of this reporter either. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 15:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Based on the keep !vote above, I'm going with open possibilities of WP:LOCAL, but with no coverage found, it's not gonna survive. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 17:26, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A well-known television broadcaster in a major U.S. market who has been the subject of significant media coverage: . Warrah (talk) 18:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That is local news. Joe Chill (talk) 19:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * So? WP:LOCAL is not policy, it is just an essay. The subject passes WP:GNG. Warrah (talk) 20:51, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I, for one, see no evidence of WP:GNG in this article. Change my mind, please? -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 00:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that Warrah sums it up quite well and has said something that I neglected to say. I think that how much is enough and how much would make this person notable. Significant media coverage as Warrah said is enough, So I say that the page-article must be kept. (Milestokilo (talk) 10:07, 18 February 2010 (UTC))

 * Keep - A news anchor on a CBS affiliate in a major market in combination with the coverage provided above demonstrates inclusion worthiness. --Oakshade (talk) 03:35, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
