Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick McCarthy (announcer) (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Tom McCarthy (sportscaster). It does not appear any further input is forthcoming and those arguing for Keep have not made the case for how the sourcing is significant. History remains under the redirect if a merger is desired. Star  Mississippi  21:14, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Fails GNG and ANYBIO. Any notability seems to be inherited which is not valid notability. TartarTorte 14:26, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Serves as the alternate play-by-play announcer for the Phillies, announces NCAA D1 football and basketball and AAA baseball. Pennsylvania2 (talk) 14:59, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * This rationale was rebutted in the previous AFD discussion, which progressed to the (proper) subject of availability, depths, and provenances of sources for a biography. The last editor in the previous discussion didn't find enough, xe said.  You should address that rather than repeating a rationale that fails to even address deletion policy.

 * Plenty of sources on McCarthy. See,  and  Pennsylvania2 (talk) 16:11, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1 is fine, but I wouldn't call 2 or 3 significant coverage. 2 is just a post about one of the calls he made and 3 is an announcement that he's going to sub as an announcer for a few Phillies games. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 17:32, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Pennsylvania2. --Vaco98 (talk) 17:40, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tom McCarthy (sportscaster) as WP:ATD-R. As with the last AfD, there's still not the significant, reliable, indeptendent coverage required to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. It doesn't matter what organizations he's worked for or what events he's been a part of. Notability is not inherited. However, a redirect as Template:R from relative is a reasonable alternative to deletion. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 21:20, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect or delete, per Qwaiiplayer. Notability is not inherited. JoelleJay (talk) 15:37, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Qwaiiplayer. Notability isn't inherited and there is not really any depth in coverage. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:46, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:BIO with sources presented by Pennsylvania. They're reliable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 00:43, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * People above you say that they aren't in depth enough. You fail to address that.  How are they more in depth than others have stated?  Uncle G (talk) 01:37, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * GPL93 says the depth of coverage is inadequate. SPKSPP obviously thinks it is adequate.  That is a matter of opinion. Rlendog (talk) 13:50, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * SBKSPP didn't say anything about depth of coverage, they just said the sources were "reliable enough". JoelleJay (talk) 22:48, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
