Comment to whoever closes this: nominator (CEIF) and one voter (WEVZ) are blocked for being socks of Spotteddogsdotorg --CFIF ☎ 12:47, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This article does not contain enough biographical info about Roy Leap. Thus the article MUST be expanded with valid information, or else it will go in the wikitrash. Wslupecki 22:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Article does not assert notablily of subject other than saying "Leep was well known in the Tampa Bay area" and that is it, other than a mention that he was weatherman for a TV station there, something that isn't all that notable. If he played a part in the history of the television station, a few lines on the WTVT page are due him, but he is not worthy of his own article. CEIF © 14:59, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete/Merge Yet another unencylopedic article about a TV weatherman from CFIF. The article doesn't establish the person's notablity and a Google search reveals most of the links are to the TV station's website or some obsessive fan sites about WTVT's good old days. WEVZ 15:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Article says he's notable in Tampa Bay, but being notable in one city is not the same as being notable nationwide. Only ~500 hits on Google, as well. --Nishkid64 15:38, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into the TV station article, if there is one. If not, Delete. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:39, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The TV station article does not have a separate biography section on all of its past and present employees. There's just a section with names of former TV station personalities. --Nishkid64 16:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Obviously not a notable person. There is more to the world than the sleepy American backwater of Tampa, Florida, and that greater world knows or cares little about this little forecasting peon of a television weather presenter. It isn't like he is Michael Fish. Leep doesn't even seem to have done anything of note, unlike Shefali Oza. This article should take a flying 'leep' into deletion.

Hasn`t done anything of note my ass....his weather team had the first radar used for weather..not something Shefali Oza did. Tampa, Florida is not a sleepy american backwater, but as usual, you troll and do absolutely no research. --CFIF ☎ 13:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• • I had the bloody misfortune to spend a month in Tampa for a fortnight. Lost Knob 02:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nomination. Moland Spring 19:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Article does not establish notability and has no national television exposure, unlike meterologists like Jeff Berardelli, Al Roker, or Tom Skilling. If, and only if, he made any significant contrbution to the history of the station, he should get a 'graph on the station's page. TV Newser 12:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep article put up for deletion ONLY for the purpose of trolling and stalking. Certain users have been following me and deleting every single article that I have worked on. --CFIF ☎ 13:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• keep please and relist later too many incidents of sockpuppets here so discussion is tainted Yuckfoo 09:23, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per CFIF. There is ample claim to notability here, coupled with what now appears to have been a bad faith nomination. Abort and retry again later if need be. RFerreira 23:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
