Tom Crabtree (journalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A news journalist in South Carolina. Nothing that make anything notable. I could not find any good, reliable sources for this article. WisconsinBoyClevelandRocks228844 (talk) 01:58, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment . Keep. Seems to be substantial coverage under Tom Crabtree anchor, but mostly local stuff. Thirty-eight years as a SC journalist would weight my opinion toward a keep outcome, when well documented. This critique of Scott Pelley is interesting. Accolades like "former SC Newsman of the year" and regional Emmy wins for his news broadcasts, if verifiable, would put this subject past WP:CREATIVE (under 4c), IMHO.

 * Tom Crabtree may be a news anchor like Scott Pelley, but the difference is, Crabtree is a local news anchor while Pelley is a national news anchor. WisconsinBoyClevelandRocks228844 (talk) 15:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The critique of Scott Pelley is written BY the subject, and covered in a full length book about media critique. BusterD (talk) 03:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Surely if Crabtree wins a notable award, he would be on the notability guidelines. As if I were sitting currently, I probably won't know on what to do wit the article. WisconsinBoyClevelandRocks228844 (talk) 19:51, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
