Nomination for deletion The page was written without any third-party sourcing, and as an advertisement/vanity page. The article does not appear to meet WP:NOTABILITY. For those reasons, I am nominating it for deletion. Stereorock ( talk) 09:33, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
First, I must start with a disclaimer, and it's a serious one: I was responsible for initial drafts of the article about a decade ago. I also had done (mostly unpaid) freelance work for Chris during that same time, which itself would raise conflict of interest issues on this platform. Moreover, the article has next to no proper citations, partly as the Ohio Media Watch blog—which, additional disclaimer, I had briefly been a contributor for— was correctly determined by consensus not to be a reliable source so those citations were removed and never replaced. All that being said, I would still support this nomination. With the best possible means I can to be objective on this, I struggle trying to justify how Chris merits an article. Moreover, his past role of station ownership was always a fleeting and highly inconsistent one, frequently selling off or leasing away his radio stations within 1-2 years of having purchased them. By Wikipedia standards, it wouldn't meet the notability criteria. By structure alone, it comes off as advertorial and highly inconsistent in structure, with some repetition in parts, no updates from 2015-16 onward, and again, the lack of citations. In the present day, I would never have pushed a page like this live, at the very most, it'd remain in prod. If it even went that far to begin with. Nathan Obral ( talk) 05:29, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
