Clearly fails RS, his book also not bestseller, Claiming that he has won fifty-two Emmy awards is emmysf.tv awards and not THE EMMY what we know, the page is twisted well to show notability. He himself have been trying to edit the page, its a clear delete for me. Chrisalder (talk) 06:09, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep The article needs work, but WP:JOURNALIST#1 regarded as an important figure and #4 won significant critical attention appear supported by the 54 Emmy awards from the Northern California chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the induction into the Silver Circle of the Northern California chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 2002, the 2021 Governors' Award from the Northern California chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and the 2022 Career Achievement Award from the Northern California Chapter Society of Professional Journalists, as documented by this in-depth source about his career.

 * Comment I have started searching the Wikipedia Library, and there is also a book review from an educator journal, a review from the Chicago Tribune of a short documentary about him, and more in-depth coverage of his career that have been added to the article, as well as a source that describes him as "The winner of a staggering 51 Emmy Awards" (Marin Independent Journal, 2015).

 * Keep Those are probably going to be regional Emmy awards. However, there are some definite keep elements, particularly the year on CBS This Morning. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 00:41, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep He was a news anchor in a local market, but that local market was the San Francisco metro area. The awards are from a local chapter, but again that local chapter is Northern California, large and populous. His book is used as a textbook in at least one journalism school (Missouri). Admittedly, I have not found standard national sources (e.g. NYT) but I still think he is significant. Lamona (talk) 02:47, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
