Does not appear to meet notability standards, at least with verifiable references. IMDB is the only source material. The article is repeatedly vandalized with "fluff" material being added or reverted, which makes me think this article is posted and/or maintained by the subject or his buddies. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:13, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not a notable television writer. IMDB is not a reputable source. A google search included people other than him, but mostly turned up weak sources that only proved what was already in the article. Per article, only has written a episode or two each for a series of failed shows. Poor guy. He has my sympathy, but not my vote.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 19:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Anyone working in show biz is going to leave a trail. However the article does not claim or the sources show that he is notable enough for an encyclopedia article. That should not make him an object of pity. :-) Kitfoxxe (talk) 19:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete one of many thousands of working script writers. Congratulations on getting work in a tough industry but that alone isn't notable. Lacks reliable sources and for some reason is a target for bizarre BLP-violating vandalism. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable journeyman scriptwriter. Qworty (talk) 05:50, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Most of the content contained in this article is incorrect, libelous and in direct violation of the Wikipedia Principles and Content Standards Policy. -- Ken Tigar, FPDC. 09:15, 01 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by KenTigar (talk • contribs)
Do Not Delete. David Feeney is a significant player in the Hollywood television industry, but more than that, he is the co-host of a very popular comedy podcast entitled Daves of Thunder which gives him a significant level of notoriety. -- LiquidJustice (talk) 11:29, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Give some evidence from reliable sources that this podcast, and therefore Feeney, is notable. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
