Article does not establish notablity of subject, as per Misplaced Pages:Notability (people). People in Tampa, Florida may recognize this person, but he seems to have little notability beyond this limited area, since he is not working for a national television outlet. Additionally, there is nothing mentioned that would give him any national or international notablity, all the Google hits are related to his work at his television station and seem to be all on Florida based websites. I have never been to Tampa and I have never heard of him, and I am guessing that he will fail the name recognition test when people not from Tampa, Florida are asked He fails the widely recognized entertainment personalities and opinion makers test, the person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field test, the multiple features in popular culture publications such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, FHM or national newspapers test, the large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following test, the commercial endorsements test, the independent biography test, the persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events test (being a TV weatherman seems not to be involvement), the person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person test, the 100 year test (future speculation), the 100 year test (past speculation), and finally the autobiography test, as this been written by someone closely involved with the subject.

• Keep has appeared on Fox News Channel numerous times during hurricanes, even when they don't affect the Tampa Bay area. Nom may be a Spotteddogsdotorg sockpuppet. --CFIF ☎ 20:20, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Many local reporters appear on cable news channels, but are not regular contibutors and doesn't make them any more notable then they aren't. I have known several people who have appeared on the Fox News Channel on occasion, and they are even less notable. I think if he was a regular contributor he would be worthy of incusion. The nominator does hit on the salient notiblity crietria. It should also be noted that, CFIF who votes keep above, is the creator of the article, so his sockpuppet accusations of the nominator may be in violation of WP:NPA and WP:AGF. CFIF also has a history of doing this in other AFDs. TV Newser 21:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Nothing there which suggests that the subject is worthy of inclusion. The assertion of "one of one of the 5 meteorologists that are certified broadcast meteorologists at WTVT" is not very impressive. If the subject, however, was one of the 5 certified broadcast meteorologists in the country, that could make him notable. Ohconfucius 04:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Chief meteorologist with 16 years experience at the station and numerous national appearances. This almost definitely gives him name recognition in the area. Kirjtc2 23:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
