[edit] David Murphy (reporter)
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 02:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

- Weak keep. TV personality in relatively large Philly market. Medtopic 06:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete unless expanded. Al Roker was once a local weatherguy, too (but at the NBC home station) and then he became Al Roker. This guy hasn't become anything yet. --Dhartung | Talk 08:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete We can restart the article if the guy ever becomes actually notable and meets the WP:BIO criteria, but he will most likely languish for years as a non-notable local television personality. 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.

- Delete: Ah, the good old Philly TV Watcher. He loves his local reporters to distraction. The figure here is a local personality who has not demonstrated wider significance or effect. Geogre 17:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Philly's a big enough market that I think he's worthy of inclusion. Vickser 22:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
