Likely fails WP:NBIO. Sources are limited to press release and their rewrites, effectively annoucements of some stages of his career - in other words, business as usual. Said coverage is also local, limited to outlets like The Detroit News. The article titled Neal Rubin (2007). "Red Wings broadcaster refuses to let his dream die". The Detroit News. seems like it might have been an in-depth piece but the link is dead, and I couldn't locate a copy in Internet Archive or eleswhere. Even if it is an in-depth piece, and assuming coverage in Detroit News is sufficient (we generally want something less local than a city-wide paper) we would need one more good source to satisfy GNG requirement for multiple in-depth pieces.

  • Delete: Does not meet the basic criteria to be considered notable. Simply put, Ken Kal's career as a broadcaster has not received significant coverage, recognition or accolades beyond the Detroit region. Drdpw (talk) 15:50, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
