non notable college tv presenter that lacks non trivial coverage in reliable sources Duffbeerforme (talk) 10:09, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Can't you just improve an article and examine an article carefully before nominating? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:49, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I think this guy probably scrapes in on the back of his cited TV appearances, although a cleanup is needed to remove all the extraneous quotes and publicity-firm-speak. I've removed a bizarre section, added by an anon before the AFD nom, which has HOAX all over it in big flashing neon letters.  Ka renjc 19:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * His tv appearences appear to be limited to a campus TV network and an appearence on single segment of talk show. Neither make a person notable without proper coverage. Duffbeerforme (talk) 11:50, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep  This article has been sourced, verified, and the subject of a lengthy debate, as seen on its discussion page. On that page, the relevance of the article was proven.  With a couple tweaks I think it's fine.--Zwillie (talk) 22:45, 2 October 2008 (UTC) — Zwillie (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep  It could use some slight improvements, but I'd have to say keep. Notability has been established previously, and it article is well sourced. Some things could be re-written. --Mr. Brown (talk) 23:34, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep  The subject of the entry is retarded but the page meets the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia, so don't get your panties in a bunch. --Transmodiar (talk) 16:38, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Notability has not been established previously on the talk page. Nothing was proven, just claimed. Muldowney's tv work does not meet WP:ENTERTAINER (significant roles in multiple notable television productions). The way I see things is that nothing in the content of the article is enough to make Muldowney notable so the subject of the article has to have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Looking at the coverage, references consist of: Two editions of a college department newsletter, one trivial, (not what I consider a reliable source and not that independent of the subject). Two articles in a University student publication, one more about the Gettin' Later show than Muldowney, the second trivial (a publication Muldowney wrote for and not what I consider a reliable source). IMDB (not a reliable source). Thechimp.net, a gossip blog (trivial mention). Tyra Banks Show recap of the episode on which Muldowney appeared (primary source, does not work). A series of videos that are primary sources that may verify claims in the article but do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject. Duffbeerforme (talk) 10:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Subject has appeared on multiple nationally syndicated and broadcast television shows in addition to local efforts. He is a published writer and actor. Notability better established than yours. Duffbeerforyou (talk) 14:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Subject also worked in narcotic interdiction, but that section was removed for its seemingly facetious nature. IllhaveaDuff (talk) 14:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Another notable fact is that Subject has yet to spend hours researching Wikipedia minutate to prove a case no one cares about. Uhaveone2 (talk) 15:00, 3 October 2008 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Transmodiar (talk • contribs)
