Robert Kirkpatrick

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)


 * Delete - Winning two Emmy Awards would be sufficient to establish notability; however, this does not appear to be true. Frank  |  talk  02:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Tentative delete - I can't find evidence of the awards either. Was just wondering though, the editor proposing AfD is the same one who actually started the article some 3.5 years ago. S/he and an apparent IP alter ego seem to be repeatedly blanking the page. Just wondering what the story is there. - IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 02:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - This appears to be his IMDB page; no awards listed there either. Frank  |  talk  02:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The guy did win the Emmys, as claimed, but they are "Regional Emmys". I have no familiarity whatsoever with the award, but if the only basis to delete is WP:HOAX, its not&mdash;that was also very easy to verify, not sure why there was difficulty above. However if regional emmies fail WP:BIO, then you could make a case to delete. MrPrada (talk) 05:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - that's a good find. Do we have anything to connect that regional Emmy to this Robert Kirkpatrick, and do we have an opinion as to notability of such an award? I've never heard of it before but that doesn't mean it's not notable. Frank  |  talk  09:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: This is a localism.  Furthermore, it's a common name.  Heck, I had a professor who published books who had that name, and I'm sure he wasn't the only one.  Utgard Loki (talk) 16:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, nothing to indicate notability. The Emmy awards appear to be regional and therefore not enough to establish notability.  Being a contestant on Jeapordy is even less noteworthy. KleenupKrew (talk) 11:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
