[edit] Rich Newberg

100% pure cruft. This guy isn't Al Roker or Ted Koppel, just some guy who wasn't good enough to leave local TV to get a network TV job where he may actually have become a notable person, someone notable enought to meet the WP:BIO standards. Adam 1212 02:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Winning nine NY Emmy awards seems to be a valid reason for inclusion. Seems unusually notable for a local broadcaster. Wickethewok
• Keep per Wickethewok. Stormscape 04:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Fails WP:BIO. The US TV industry gives out way too many Emmys. I'm just about okay with Daytime Emmys, as at least they're still national... but local Emmys... not a major award and so not encyclopedically notable. Winning 9 minor local awards makes him unusually notable in a minor local way Bwithh 04:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per wickethewok. Considering that a major market like New York has 40+ anchors alone, winning 9 local emmys is certainly a notable affair. Agne 06:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. He seems notable enough to me. Ace of Sevens 06:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - passes teh bar for notability for me -- Whpq 13:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete He is some two-bit anchor who languishes in a televison backwater because he didn't have the talent to get a network job. There are most likely at least a hundred people like him and unless they did something truly notable, like became a congressperson, mass murder, astronaut, etc. then maybe they would be of some note. If we include every two-bit personality who has appeared on local TV then Wikipedia will become an indiscriminate repository of information, vulnerable to the adding unverified information faster than we are able to verify it, cluttering the encyclopedia and pulling down its general quality.
