Article's subject appears to be a non-notable local sports anchor and writer. Article does not establish subject's notability. Deconstructhis (talk) 05:44, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I tried looking for sources and added 3. The sources in my opinion do not rise to the level of establishing notability. There is a statement in the first source that says he has won numerous AP sports casting awards. I have not been able to verify that information. If someone can find a reliable source that verifies what awards he has won, that might establish notability. ~~ GB fan ~~ 07:48, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I found a link on a regional AP website for a 2006 award. I've seen weaker cases on AfD kept. --CompRhetoric (talk) 18:18, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per CompRhetoric. --Slon02 (talk) 00:11, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In addition to coverage of his activities as sportscaster and as a (backup) announcer for a major league team, the Google News results show that his book received substantial coverage around the Bay Area, at least. So I think he gets over the bar on notability.--Arxiloxos (talk) 01:08, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
