Telly Hughes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Sideline sports reporter but no assertion of notability. I speedied once (at the title of Telly hughes), upon recreation a speedy nomination (by another user) was contested. Only 600 Google hits. Esteffect (talk) 01:42, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete A Google search didn't turn up much. One very minor mention I saw showed Hughes hasn't even had his position for more than a couple weeks.    Mbinebri   talk &larr; 02:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. I rewrote and referenced the article, which was previously inaccurate garbage.  Subject has been a sports anchor at multiple regional sports networks and has done some radio work.  Reliable source coverage exists, (e.g. Gnews hits) but is pretty thin -- there are a couple of mentions in Jet and the New York Times which give a nudge out of purely routine news coverage.  He did win a 2008 regional Emmy Award, but I don't know that that alone is enough to satisfy WP:CREATIVE.  if the article does wind up getting deleted, at least we've got an accurate bio for Deletionpedia :)  Baileypalblue (talk) 16:59, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * There is pages about "famous figures" as significant as famous as Lindsey Thomise at Deletionpedia, not really making it a point worth raising. The fact the New York Times article has "Minority Journalist" in the title says a lot to me. Esteffect (talk) 00:26, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * for clarity, the "deletionpedia" comment was meant to be a joke at my own expense, not a reflection on anyone else or on the AFD. Baileypalblue (talk) 04:50, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
