It's a gushy rave about a non-notable radio person. There are thousands of similarly non notable radio people, and we don't give them a mention. Rightly so too. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 09:08, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete for apparent lack of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 13:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment: The article now has the proper sourcing you noted it had lacked. - Dravecky (talk) 08:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep he is a very notable radio personality in Michigan. I think the article needs to be expanded and more references which I have done some of but as far as notability I think it should stay --Vertigo315 (talk) 14:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
If you can address the concern raised above, I would change my position, but right now the sources you have do not qualify as reliable sources. xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 14:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, fails WP:BIO due to a lack of coverage by reliable third party publications. coccyx bloccyx(toccyx) 21:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Radio-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 23:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as 50+ year career, including 47 years doing mornings at one station, is notable and I've added several independent reliable sources to this article for verifiability. It could use a bit more rewriting and certainly could be expanded as the available sources are impressively numerous and in-depth. - Dravecky (talk) 00:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:BIO. His accomplishments described in the article all center around his longevity in the business, which just isn't that notable. References are from local sources failing to make the case for wide recognition in the industry.--Rtphokie (talk) 11:37, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
