References are insufficient at establishing notability under WP:CREATIVE (and WP:GNG). Dr Strauss  talk  18:40, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - going through google, I find local or semi-national mentions,  (includes mention of an Emmy for him as well),, plus a few obits . Unfortunately, for individuals this old and dead, many of the news articles are often hidden behind paywalls and in archives, not readily accessible to google. I suspect if someone did some hefty research, sourcing this page and proving notability would be easy, so I am leaning towards suggesting the page be kept, at least until some deeper research can be performed.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. I think he meets WP:CREATIVE #2 as the originator of the Action News concept.  The two references in the article are also enough to meet GNG - it's true that they are local/semi-national, but WP:AUD only applies to organizations are far as I know.  --Cerebellum (talk) 19:21, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
