Delete Fails GNG. Amazing it managed to go unnoticed for 14 years. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:47, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And to be clear, it appears that the Chris King who calls games for the New York Islanders is a different person. That Chris King might be notable. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:51, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Noting that in 2017, an editor claiming to be Mr. King prod'd the article with the reasoning: I'm the subject of this page. It contains old information and honestly I'm not notable enough to have a wikipedia page. Other people who are minor league baseball and college basketball radio broadcasters do not have Wikipedia pages. My friend created this page while we were both in college as a joke, which has now run its course. I love Wikipedia as a great information tool, just don't feel like this dated information about me is worthy to be included with it. Thank you. Chris King Seems reasonable to delete the article based on notability concerns plus the possible subject also requesting deletion. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 20:20, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete doesn't pass GNG, subject requested. Suprised the previous prod got denied. WikiVirusC^(talk) 21:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article seems to have been created when the subject was about 20. There are no signs of notability. We really need to clean out some of these old articles on clearly non-notable people and also need to figure out ways to make it harder for people to "create articles as a joke."John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:23, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
