Steve Covino

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, or WP:ENTERTAINER. Article appears to be in a bad state, with a promotional and non-neutral tone, possibly indicating that much of the article may have been written by himself. Upon looking into improving the article, I found that all the sources were either dead, about his girlfriend, a press release, a facebook page, and a video of his, which are not independent sources for notability under WP:GNG. Searching for information on him also does not bring up really any independent sources or much of anything for that matter. His twitter account only has 3262 followers despite being active. It is also very hard to find information on the many shows listed under professional career. His website is also dead. One of his current shows does have an article, Covino and Rich, but its sources are not much better, including another facebook link and a forum post from a fellow presenter. His television and video game appearences also do not seem to be notable and over-exaggerate his role. For example, for his hell's kitchen appearence as himself, the only mention of it I could find is a tweet of someone congratulating him for appearing in an episodes promo, and Covino stating he should get credit on imbd for the appearence. Overall, seems like a vanity article that does not pass notability guidelines. Meszzy2 (talk) 06:13, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - The article is a frankly pathetic attempt at personal promotion that is dependent on social media sources, and much of it veers into WHO CARES territory, like the name of the flower girl at his wedding and how he recently paid off his debts. He's not just trying to further his career with this article, but craves personal attention because his Honda Civic is awesome. His radio work and the small amount of reliable media attention it has received is already covered at Covino and Rich, and that is more than enough. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:05, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: Very promotional tone that could be fixed, but heavy use of social media as sources and general lack of primary sources cannot be fixed. GN-z11  ☎  ★ 14:57, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Did a little research in this guy, found more references and cleaned up page to remove unreferenced material and promotional content. I believe he meets basic WP:GNG. He is a famous Radio DJ/Host. I also found video documentary by LatinNation on Youtube that serves as a good reference to some of the content. The prior editors with DELETE vote should review this again. Peter303x (talk) 17:02, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are no adequate sources that can support notability, even post-make over. The general wretchedness of the text ("w/ the experts", etc) is not a factor but it surely does not help. -The Gnome (talk) 13:29, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
