non notable victim of a routine crime. The only continuing coverage is that one of the criminals, out on parole, committed a similar crime. That does not make the original victim notable DGG ( talk ) 02:10, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep John Friskillo is mentioned as a radio icon in a few sources, so he is notable at least in Mississippi which is why the crime reported by various outlets.--Twixister (talk) 03:10, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Radio personalities aren't all automatically notable just because they exist, so the fact that the death coverage mentions that he used to be a radio host is not in and of itself a mic drop in the absence of any notability-making career coverage while he was alive and working in radio — but the sources which actually predate his death are all either unreliable sources (Fold3, the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations) or glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that are not about him in any substantive or non-trivial way. In determining whether somebody is notable as a radio host or not, we're not looking for short blurbs which technically verify facts — we're looking for sources that write about and analyze the significance of his work in detail, and no sources like that have been shown. If the strongest source you can actually show is a 20-word blurb in Billboard's "broadcasting employment notes" column, mentioning that he was program director of a radio station but not going into any further detail about that, then that's not enough.
