WP:BLP of a television meteorologist, referenced exclusively to IMDb with no evidence shown of any reliable source coverage about him in media independent of himself. As usual for bad articles about television personalities, this is written like somebody just tried to rewrite his staff profile on the self-published website of one of his own employers -- but as usual for television personalities, the notability test is not the ability to primary source the fact that he exists via content self-created by his own employer, but the ability to verify that he has received third party journalistic attention from media other than his own employers. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced significantly better than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:56, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - for a Canadian meteorologist, he has a lot of followers on Twitter. I need more time to do research. 17:49, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
