Possibly a hoax, as I could not find any reliable sources to indicate that any of the information in this article is true, which means at the very least it seems to violate WP:V. Google results turn up Wiki mirrors and, given the nature of his fame, it's not unreasonable to assume that Google should come up with some relevant results. The tone in which the article this article is written doesn't quell my suspicious that this is a hoax either.In addition, even if this were a real person, I question whether he would be notable if one took out all the POV stuff about him; but I'll need to see the sources before I can judge that.

Nicely cleaned up by User:Shunpiker and apparentely not a hoax as per AlasdairGreen27 but, as pointed out by Shunpiker, there's still no notability asserted here, so I still think this should be deleted, albeit for different reasons now. Cheers, CP 21:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Neutral leaning towards Weak delete. It's not a hoax, despite all the ridiculous hyperbole (likely he wrote it himself). This is him: [1]. He's "Morning Reporter/Anchor 5am - 10am" at a radio station in Houston. Normally, I'd say speedy delete about any article that ends "That is the God's facts right there" on grounds of grammatical incompetence and as a point of principle regarding an encyclopaedia. I don't know, though. I'm not in the US, so I don't know how notable this guy is there. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 19:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. The subject writes a blog for the radio station, and reports and anchors morning news. No mention of him on the schedule or rest of site. Information on site agrees with article, so not a hoax. Apparently nonnotable. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 21:22, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no real assertion of notability. Terraxos (talk) 21:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
