Snook (comedian)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Seem to far fall short of notability guidelines; relatively minor comedian with no significant claim to fame and article tagged since April 2008 with no significant improvement. A brief attempt to find online sources failed to ferret out anything of significance. &mdash; Coren (talk) 02:06, 5 November 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Weak keep has CD's and a DVD, has made national TV and radio appearances, appears fairly well known in Newfoundland as a regional comedian -Drdisque (talk) 03:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, those are all minor appearances, and the CD and DVD are self-published (at least, I couldn't find them available at retailers). He might indeed be hovering just at the edge of notability, but unless some independent sources can be found he's on the delete side of the egde.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 11:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment He does have some national recognition in Canada and it's of interest that he .  Many a comedian offers a recording of the routines for fans, and many get an appearance on a television show, but the test of notability is whether his coverage is significant, no opinion from me on that one.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep: I'd initially been weak on this, thinking it was best to leave the article for the time being as Newfoundland is not exactly a large market to begin with. That was before I noticed the above link where it is confirmed he ran for office.  I would say that considering WP:PAPER, Snook is notable withing a Newfoundland context and should remain - BalthCat (talk) 07:07, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, search by "Snook" comedian -baby, and there are enough sources. Abductive  (reasoning) 10:56, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
