Local tv reporter. Not enough sourcing independent of his employers to show notability. No reliable source for award, but a regional Emmy does not make for automatic notability. Also appears to be a autobiography, but that isn't a major concern for here. John from Idegon (talk) 05:25, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Seems like one of those vanity WP pages. Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Also, seriously misleading to say he won an "Emmy Award." mikeman67 (talk) 13:57, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep it. It's not uncommon for television news reporters to have Wikipedia pages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_television_reporters_and_correspondents There is plenty of independent citations outside of the TV stations listed, and the Emmy Award citation was added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.156.107.42 (talk) 18:13, 14 October 2015 (UTC)  — 104.156.107.42 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep it The article is similar to this article, which the Wikipedia community seems to be fine with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Rozier — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.156.107.42 (talk) 21:11, 14 October 2015 (UTC)  — 104.156.107.42 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete - I don't think regional Emmy Awards count for notability, as about 200 people win them every year. Local news reporters do have articles but typically it's after decades of work. He seems quite young so perhaps WP:TOOSOON. —Мандичка YO 😜 06:20, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - He's a local news reporter in a major American TV market (Seattle). It also seems like he has a lot of experience to merit the article. Reporters with less experience and in smaller media markets have articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.238.9.74 (talk) 17:42, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
