WP:BLP of a radio broadcaster, edging heavily into promotional/public relations rather than encyclopedic style, and relying only on a single primary source for referencing — and while he's still with the CBC in a different role, he's no longer the host of the program that this article describes him as the host of, with the result that even the one primary source that's been cited here doesn't actually support the claim anymore (and just replacing it with the website of the program he is now hosting would still be a primary source.) It's also worth mentioning that the article's original creator was User:VoiceOfRuss, raising the likelihood of WP:COI editing. As a former host of a provincewide program on CBC Radio, he might certainly qualify for a properly sourced and neutral article, but he's not entitled to keep a PR profile that's referenced only to a primary source that isn't even relevant anymore.

Delete. I can't find any reliable secondary sources to support notability. Tchaliburton (talk) 20:27, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can't find anything to suggest that the subject meets either the general notability guideline or the specific guidelines for broadcasters. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 04:30, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
