Mike Morgan (meteorologist)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local television news (weather) personality. Has been involved in some minor controversies and garnered the usual run of the mill coverage. Also has received several awards none off which ring the WP:N bell. Subject fails WP:ANYBIO and the article feels promotional in areas. The previous AfD closed as a redirect, but is old enough that it could be seen as stale. Ad Orientem (talk) 04:06, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete local level meterologists are not notable. The low level press coverage does not change that fact.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:47, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The argument concerning whether local level meteorologists qualify as notable is inaccurate. Quite a number of meteorologists who have only worked at the local level or currently work at the local level regardless of whether they have appeared on a national media platform, but have a reasonable degree of notability qualifiers (achievements including award wins, longevity and innovation, etc.) have articles on Wikipedia, including Dave Dahl, Troy Dungan, Gary England, Tom Skilling, Harry Volkman, James Spann and Dick Goddard. That, by itself, is not a disqualification for meriting a WP article. The information on this version of the Morgan bio article was developed with the intent of having more substantial footing than the original version, with more adequate information on his career and background and more references buttressing it.

 * I'm not seeing an argument here that rings the WP:N bell. Please cite specific policy/guidelines and examples of how they are met. The coverage is fairly low and what there is, is run of the mill. None of the awards are major and thus do not individually or collectively establish notability. This is a weatherman, one of thousands, who has been involved in some minor controversies and garnered some, mostly local, news coverage. I'm sorry, but that's not enough. -Ad Orientem (talk) 20:43, 25 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect – I would lean more toward keeping it but like Ad Orientem says, it has a promotional feeling and needs rewriting. United States Man (talk) 01:12, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * FTR I am fine with reaffirming the decision of the previous AfD and redirecting to KFOR-TV. -Ad Orientem (talk) 12:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
