contested prod. Non-notable local weatherman. Lacks coverage in 3rd party sources. Only references are primary sources. RadioFan (talk) 01:10, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I have added more information. Also, other meteorologists from WPRI have pages which are uncited, and much less notable.


 * Comment The first reference is a primary source, the second is about another personality at the station, not the subject of this article. Wikipedia notability guidelines require significant coverage where this person is the subject of the article.  Its just not there.  Also, other stuff exists is not a good argument to make against deletion.


 * Delete Apparently there is no reporting from AP on his 6 awards, and that's the only claim in the article that would make the guy notable for me. --Pgallert (talk) 10:57, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment, I see sources have been added for the "best meteorologist" award from the local newspaper, but I still dont think we are above the notability bar yet. Unless the claim of AP awards can be referenced somewhere other than a primary source, that needs to be removed from the article.--RadioFan (talk) 13:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – I cannot find anything in there to establish that be won these awards by the AP, which would otherwise establish notability. Nothing in independent reliable sources otherwise. MuZemike 21:53, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
