I am unable to find any coverage of this person in reliable secondary sources. They appear to fail WP:GNG and WP:BIO. VQuakr (talk) 16:15, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you can provide links or references to those articles, I can assist with adding them to the article. I have not independently been able to find coverage of this person in reliable sources, and right now there are no secondary sources in the article at all.

Comment - I had a look at the links posted by Tdlap, and am not convinced they constitute adequate coverage to establish notability. Aside from the blogs and youtube links, we have a brief mention in a local Nashville paper and an article in the Nashville Chatter Class on a specific episode (which does not appear to be a reliable source to me.

Here is another article on Carl Boyd, Jr from one of the local tv station WSMV Channe; 4 http://www.wsmv.com/news/27829232/detail.html VQakr why are you hating on the young talent? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdlap (talk • contribs) 02:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the way the nashville chatter is the biggest editoral journal in Nashville. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdlap (talk • contribs) 02:27, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Carl Boyd, Jr make appearances on the local news station, he is considering a run for Mayor of nashville and you say this is not crediable source. Who you are to judge what is crediable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdlap (talk • contribs) 18:06, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If I am doing it wriong please help me to put it in the correct format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdlap (talk • contribs) 18:10, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Still a student, has a local radio talk show, has a way to go to before he becomes notable. Of the references listed at the article, #1 is an item in the Tennessean but it doesn't mention Boyd; instead it includes a message from him in the "comments" section. #2 is Boyd's own website. #3 is a listing on "UStream" which I gather is a channel that streams his program. Nothing there in the way of a Reliable Source. Of the additional references provided here by Tdlap, the youtube items and blogs are not Reliable Sources so they add nothing to his notability. There is a mention on a Tennessean blog, which mentions that he is thinking about running for mayor, but that doesn't make him notable. There is a mention at Channel 4, about a complaint that he filed. That's it. He might well become notable in the future, but he isn't now. BTW Tdlap, please understand that we are simply applying very well defined criteria for WP:NOTABILITY that are required for a Wikipedia article. We are not passing judgment on Mr. Boyd or his talent or his career, and we are certainly open to an article about him later if he should become more notable (for example if he should run for mayor and win, or if his talk show should become syndicated or reach beyond the local market). --MelanieN (talk) 03:30, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
