Robert Shaw (sports commentator)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The only 3rd party sources are trivial mentions, or don't mention this person at all. This appears to be a non-notable local sports reporter and online commentator. The only award listed is FLORIDA ASSOCIATED PRESS BEST LONG LIGHT FEATURE- A LEAGUE OF OUR OWN, plus 2 runners up, these are for local sports reporting.

I don't feel this page should be deleted. Robert Shaw is often on Bloomberg Television and Bloomberg Radio, both of which are international. He can be found writing for both Canadian and American sports and news organizations. He can also be found on usatoday.com, in his live Q&As on the Washington Post wapo.st/oiF6xX, and often on Sirius/XM Radio. These seem like more than enough to qualify him to be featured on wikipedia. jsheldon1 (talk) 12:22, 26 August 2011 (EST)

 * Keep - My inclination is to keep this piece based on the quantity and quality of the information presented. Pretty obviously written by the subject or someone close to the subject, but non-celebratory in tone. Sourcing is very poor, a couple of the footnotes I took a look at have nothing whatsoever to do with the subject. It does seem that Mr. Shaw has won at least several regional Emmy Associated Press awards; I'm not sure if that cuts mustard for others, but it's sufficient for me, I reckon. This should be tagged for additional third party sources. Carrite (talk) 15:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC) Last edit: Carrite (talk) 15:29, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
