[edit] Tony Turner

Tony Turner (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Does not pass the threshold of notability. Subject of article was a local television journalist, who apparently was a fine person, and whose tragic death was a loss to the community. Local celebrities are not necessarily notable. His principal claims to notability seem to be that he is the subject of a 39-page book written (and apparently self-published) by his brother and that a section of a Kentucky road was named in his honor, but those do not add up to WP:N. Several of the external links in the article no longer point to content about him, and I had to delete the link to the blurb for his brother's book in order to add the AfD template because the book link is on a blacklisted domain.

• Delete. Per nomination. Also, Wiki does not function as a memorial. Renee (talk) 13:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge and/or redirect to WYMT-TV. Probably the most logical solution. Mandsford (talk) 17:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Sounds like a fine person, but purely a memorial article. Edison (talk) 00:29, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. KleenupKrew (talk) 00:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
• Wikipedia is not a memorial service. It pains me to recommend this, but Wikipedia policy precludes otherwise, delete as a merge to WYMT-TV would be inappropriate.B.Wind (talk) 00:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
