Biography of a sports commentator which has had no inline citations/footnotes at any time since it was created in 2006 (until I added one today – it is a SPS but at least it supports some of the info). It survived an AfD at the time, but as we know, notability criteria have developed a lot in the past 14 years. There are several external links in the article, but none of them indicates notability for him. I can't find any significant coverage of him (almost everything that turns up is a Wikipedia mirror), and as for more specific notability criteria, WP:CREATIVE and/or WP:ENT seem to come closest and neither one appears to be met. Again, there would need to be sources for that, and I fail to find any. bonadea contributions talk 14:09, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't understand how this article survived its first AfD, but perhaps I'm missing something. I'm not seeing any notability criteria that he meets. Even the source added by Bonadea is from the website Bennett started. The rest of the coverage seems to fall under WP:NOTMEMORIAL. I'm not voting at this time to give others a chance to show me why he's WP notable. Papaursa (talk) 11:23, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
