Nick McArdle

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I have found no significant third party coverage to satisfy WP:BIO. There are a couple of mentions of his departure from Fox Sports, and a couple of pieces written by McArdle himself, but nothing else so far as I could tell. ―NK1406 talk•contribs 03:22, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - McArdle is a well-known sports anchor in Australia. There would definitely be sources out there on him. Third party coverage is not just a Google search. Deus et lex (talk) 04:27, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Why do you assume that all I made was a simple Google search? I spent a non-trivial amount of time searching multiple online sources before posting this. I admit I may not have access to all the relevant offline sources, but given the nature of the article I would expect there to be at least one or two online sources indicating notability. It seems to me that your comment seems to fall under WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES. ―<b style="color:#0715b0">NK1406</b> <b style="color:#0715b0">talk</b>•<b style="color:#0715b0">contribs</b> 15:28, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * What did you do, then, besides a Google search? McArdle is a well known sports anchor that has been around for a while. This is not some random person, it is an article that should be kept. Deus et lex (talk) 23:07, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I have so far searched Trove, Guardian Australia (using the search bar at the top, which doesn't provide anything I can link to), News.com.au , and the Australian Fox Sports site ). That last one is the one listed as an external link on the article's page. ―<b style="color:#0715b0">NK1406</b> <b style="color:#0715b0">talk</b>•<b style="color:#0715b0">contribs</b> 14:57, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Add 7news.com.au to that list as well. ―<b style="color:#0715b0">NK1406</b> <b style="color:#0715b0">talk</b>•<b style="color:#0715b0">contribs</b> 15:00, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * What about this (an article about his sacking from Fox Sports earlier this year) and this (an article about his new podcast venture), this (interview with him). The first two are substantially about McArdle and are sources independent to him. Deus et lex (talk) 03:31, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep McArlde is a notable commentator and easily meets WP:GNG. I have expanded the article and added suitable references. This should be sufficient for now and I'll plan to expand. Cabrils (talk) 04:29, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per prior comments -- McArdle passes GNG with flying colours, and edits since the time of AfD have demonstrated it. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 03:15, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: GNG is met. - Astrophobe  (talk) 03:42, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
