Still nothing at all actually suggestive of the needed solidity and substance, there's essentially nothing else better. SwisterTwister  talk  21:20, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Weakish Delete; I denied the speedy deletion of this article on the grounds that there's a credible claim to significance by way of being inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame and that it could be reworded a bit to step away from being promotional. I did that, and added in two refs in the process. But, there's not a lot to go on here. Never made it to professional baseball, as established at the last AfD 7 years ago, so no claim to fame there. Definitely exists with a fair bit of broadcasting experience, but the experience doesn't appear to be notable. Ok, 600 boxing matches called, but apparently no significant bouts that I can find. Broadcaster journeyman, I can't find anything to sustain a notable career, other than having a career. I cast about looking for better refs to support notability, but there really isn't anything. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:43, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

REALLY happy you have Rich on here, he has done so much and really people and kids need to know just how far he came to make a great career from athlete to broadcaster.

 * Delete: No doubt he's a hell of a swell fellow, but there are hundreds of millions of swell people in the world who don't have Wikipedia articles. Just fails of notability.  Nha Trang  Allons! 16:39, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- there are so many Rich(ie) Perezes that searching for sources is a real uphill battle against swarms of Ghits. I know of two alone in NYC - one the husband of an old friend of mine, and one who is a local celebrity of a minister - either of whom could be more notable, but I think they're all run of the mill.

 * Delete. Wikipedia's inclusion criteria are not based on whether the subject is a nice guy or not — lots of nice guys don't qualify for Wikipedia articles, and lots of people who do qualify for Wikipedia articles aren't or weren't very nice. A person gets a Wikipedia article on the basis of reliable source coverage verifying that they pass a notability criterion — which local radio personalities quite commonly do not. If the article were supported by much more solid sourcing, I'd say that the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame constituted enough notability for a keep — but it's not an inclusion freebie that entitles him to an exemption from having to be sourced a lot better than this.

 * Delete -- non notable per WP:ENT and better sources do not appear to exist. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:15, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
