[edit] Shawn Tempesta

Article for non-notable local radio disc jockey and webmaster. Does not meet requirements of WP:BIO. No reliable, reputable sources per WP:V. Was {PROD} but removed by anon editor with no comment or changes so come here for deletion. --Satori Son 12:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• He actually is a known disc-jockey in Las Vegas. I think we might be getting a little picky here. Mix941.fm shows his position with the station, Radio-Info.com mentions him in New Bedford, MA, plus his own bio on ShawnTempesta.com and MySpace at ShawnOnTheRadio.com shows he is not unknown. This isn't a Colbert Report situation...I don't think it should be treated as one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.20.96.116 (talk • contribs). 12:53, 8 September 2006

• I am not claiming the man doesn't exist, simply that he does not meet the notability requirements of Wikipedia:Notability (people). Also, self-published sources are generally not sufficient to establish notability. Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Thank you. --Satori Son 13:58, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment — Do any local (non-nationally syndicated) radio disk jockeys merit notability? Perhaps a few who have made it into the news. But I suspect most do not. — RJH (talk) 18:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no most do not because most don't have enough good sources about them. This guy doesn't appear to either. Some are popular enough to have been written about substantially though. Recury 19:37, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete pretty much impossible to build a reliable biography except to say his name and his job. I don't think he makes WP:BIO.Pascal.Tesson 02:12, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
