WP:BLP of a radio personality, whose claims of notability are not properly sourced. As a host of a syndicated show, he would be eligible for an article if he could be shown to clear WP:GNG, but it's not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts him from having to be sourced properly -- but three of the six references here are his primary source profiles on his own self-published website and those of his employers, while two more are blurby press releases from his employers in which he gives brief soundbite. None of these are reliable sources for the purposes of establishing a person as notable -- and the only reference here that is a reliable source is a local media outlet covering him only in the context of winning that media outlet's own "best local radio personality" poll, which is not an article-clinching notability claim. As always, it's not what an article says that determines its keepability on Wikipedia, but how well it references what it says -- but this isn't referenced properly at all.

Delete a non-notable radio personality.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:29, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I looked for more coverage but couldn't find anything in a reliable source. This is all I could find on him: an opinion piece [[1]] and coverage of a medical emergency in a non-notable source. [[2]] The latter does call him Seattle's number one music station host, but without further coverage there's no way to validate whether that's anymore than just PR puffery. I also Googled the nationally syndicated show that the article says he hosts, and could only find this [[3]] So, he fails WP:GNG.TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 18:55, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
