Delete: Not a single reliable source in the article (the one second-party source, the Seattle Times, confirms that he writes a column for that newspaper; searching the article creator's username online find a close connection to the subject of the article. Virtually all results online (which, considering the subject's preferred medium, is an accurate measure here) are from social media sites. הסרפד (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 23:35, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This page seems to be nothing more than an attempt to make the subject seem important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.62.90.104 (talk) 03:21, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, KTC (talk) 00:08, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources (the ones here that are reliable sources) don't discuss the subject much. Simply having a somewhat popular sports blog does not meet the grounds for notability. Nwlaw63 (talk) 13:01, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
