Poorly referenced and résumé-toned BLP of a person notable primarily as a single-market local television journalist and executive director of a charity. As always, neither of these are automatic notability freebies that entitle a person to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- to be notable for either reason, he needs to be the subject of enough reliable source media coverage about his work in those roles to clear WP:GNG. Even the journalism award claims aren't notability freebies that exempt a journalist from having to be properly sourced -- for the purposes of an WP:ANYBIO pass, we care only about awards whose depth of media coverage tells us that the awards are "important" enough to make their winners notable for winning them, and not about awards that are either unsourced or primary sourced to their own self-published web presence. But two of the three footnotes here are primary sources, not reliable or notability-supporting ones, and the only one that is actually media coverage is a purely local human interest piece in his own local media market about his being diagnosed with cancer in 2007 -- which is not enough coverage, either in volume or in context, to make a local news anchor notable all by itself. This is possibly also an WP:AUTOBIO, as the article was created by "Mediaperson" and has since been updated primarily but not exclusively by "Mediaperson2011" and "Mediaperson2016", and none of these users have ever made any contributions to Wikipedia on any topic but Andrew and his employers.

Delete absurdly promotional . About half of it is devoted to his own extensive reporting on the progress of his own illness. DGG ( talk ) 05:23, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
