Delete nn local radio sports personality; so nn, we don't even know when or where he was born or what he's done other than his current gig. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A7 No assertation of notability at all. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 21:17, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A7 was already declined by another admin, but I see no particular reason to keep this article in its current state--Fails WP:ENTERTAINER Jclemens (talk) 07:46, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. Hitzges is a notable Dallas sportscaster. He used to do Texas Ranger color commentary (and please, don't AFD simply because he worked for the Rangers), and has been on Dallas radio for 20-30 years. He's also written several books about Dallas sports teams. Give his article time to become fleshed out. BrownHornet21 (talk) 04:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~I cant say "rewrite" here because this article hasn't even been written, it's not even of stub quality yet. It's a single sentence.~~ The subject is notable however with significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. Some referenced biographical info has been added along with a list of books he's written.--Rtphokie (talk) 02:03, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep as subject easily crosses verifiability and notability thresholds, author of editor of several sports books, host of various television shows over the years, and is himself the subject of significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. - Dravecky (talk) 03:13, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep With the improvement to the article it now demonstrates the subjects notability.--Cube lurker (talk) 15:43, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep — Article now easily demonstrates notability. MuZemike (talk) 18:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - If you have been honored by the Radio Hall of Fame, Dallas Hall of Sports Association, and the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame, he must have done some notable things. Yet I still think biographies need more notability than is usually required for inclusion in Wikipedia and he doesn't seem that highly notable. However, as his credentials are as good if not better than many other biographies on Wikipedia, I vote weak keep. Jason Quinn (talk) 22:03, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
