Lack of notability. This is a reporter for a local ABC affiliate. Nothing notable about his bio. Nothing that seperates him from the thousands of other local reporters on local affilates. This would have been handled with wp:PROD, but an IP editor removed the tag, not to contest it, but to put a tag in about American English. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:23, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete. I can find plenty of stories he's reported, but I can find no sources about him - with the exception of the New York Times coverage of his wedding here [http://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/24/style/weddings-vows-christina-ha-and-marcus-solis.html]. That's not enough to build an article on. Unless anyone can provide further sources to show notability, this should be deleted. Robofish (talk) 00:52, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless if something else is found that further distinguishes him from other people. LovesMacs (talk) 11:58, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete, possibly merge. Local news reporter with insufficient notability as a person to have his own page, any pertinent info should be merged into WABC-TV. In addition, the creator of the page seems to be a banned user, so this may qualify for a speedy delete under WP:CSD G5 Btw : there a quite a few other pages on reporters that have been created by same user and his sockpuppets, blocked for uploading copyrighted material & introducing delibrately false information.

:*I tried speedy delete first, but an admin refused is becuase there might be notability. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete. The lack of sources about him equals the lack of notability. Should he become notable for at least one big event, (and his wedding doesn't count here), a new article about him could be drafted. Although I'm not opposed to merge some of the content as suggested above.--The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 15:26, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete, sockpuppet originator. If he really is notable, someone who can prove it will recreate it.Jarhed (talk) 04:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
