[edit] AfD nomination of Brian West (Radio Announcer)

An editor has nominated Brian West (Radio Announcer), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian West (Radio Announcer) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

[edit] Radio personalities

Wikipedia is not a place where you can add just anything you want just for the sake of adding to a category; the onus is on you to demonstrate why the person is notable enough to be in an encyclopedia.

You didn't demonstrate that he's notable the first time you added this. As you know perfectly well, it got deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian West (Radio Announcer). Under our speedy deletion policy, if you recreate something that's previously been deleted and don't add new information to make it more clear that the person should be considered notable, an administrator is expected to delete the article on sight.

The fact that a Canadian radio personalities category exists does not mean that every Canadian radio personality is automatically entitled to an article; it exists to collect those personalities who do meet our notability criteria. Read WP:BIO if you're not clear on the difference between "radio personality who deserves an article" and "radio personality who doesn't merit an article" — the criteria are quite a bit more detailed than "this person exists and fits a category".

Tom Allen and Mary Hynes are heard on national radio networks. Matte Babel and Kelly Noseworthy are seen on national television networks. If you can't see how that makes them different from a local radio announcer heard on one commercial radio station in one city, then there's really not much more I can say.

Freeway Frank, on the other hand, is dubious, but as of right now nobody's ever actually nominated his article for deletion. That fact doesn't make his article the yardstick against which all other articles are measured for notability; it just makes it an article that hasn't been brought to the attention of the AFD crew yet.
