• Delete sounds like an obituary. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 02:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but certainly needs to be sourced. The article establishes some notability with his broadcasting award, serving as broadcasting association chapter president as well as a potentially pivotal part in media exposure during the Civil Rights movement. If this can be sourced and verified then his notability is well established. Agne 05:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - agree with Agne. Article could be improved. -- Whpq 13:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: It's a copy & paste obituary, and there are no sources externally to show impact and references. He sounds like a wonderful, interesting, and valuable person whose passing makes the world a colder place, but I cannot see his place in general culture above the local level.

• Very Weak Keep Only of it can be sourced and verified as not being cut and pasted from an obituary. Otherwise delete. Cheesehead 1980 14:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep It seems to me like this article needs cleanup, not deletion. Vickser 20:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Mabry was one of Birmingham's first and best known broadcasters. It definitely needs cleanup. I may enlist one or two of Mabry's old co-workers in a cleanup effort. Realkyhick 07:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
