Deletion of Terry Moore (broadcaster)

Comment: I appreciate Bearcat's outstanding Special:Contributions/Bearcat|contributions and time invested to review this entry, however, I cannot agree to delete it. The person in question has not only been a public media figure, but at death received a broad coverage. The argument that the obituary losses validity because it was written by the Canadian Press is, for me, unsupportive. What matters the most is the spread of a news story. If the obituary was reprinted and re-voiced from multiple media outlets that's more than enough to become notable. I agree that the WP entry reads like a memorial (), but that has never been a reason for deletion where the coverage from reliable sources even crosses national borders (https://www.google.com/search?num=50&ei=AbbAW-_SNsjtzgK-7LXADQ&q=%22Terry+Moore%22+broadcaster+-wikipedia&oq=%22Terry+Moore%22+broadcaster+-wikipedia&gs_l=psy-ab.12...0.0.1.5937.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c..64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.2YvbskDM8DE here

Comment: I am afraid this AfD seems rather disingenuous WRT the sources used in this article; the first ref is an obituary in the National Post which may not be my favourite newspaper but which would certainly count as a source for establishing notability. There's also references in the article currently to CTV as a source. This subject, clearly meets  and I can't understand how his former employer, also a media organization, having eulogized him, and that being used as a source of uncontroversial information on this obviously notable person would be grounds for deletion

Comment: the article is a , which is an issue that could be overcome if better coverage existed on details of his life prior to his death. But I can't find it at all, the only reporting I can find on any aspect of his life is contained in an obituary. If I limit my Googling to a few months prior to his death, I find a little incidental coverage of his broadcasting career, mostly notes in radio history blogs that he moved from one station to another, but no significant write-ups. I find ''no coverage at all'' on his opera work, his best-selling book(s?), nor his work in film and television. I also, weakly, share Bearcat's concerns that we only see obituaries penned by Moore's co-worker and only republished in media affiliated with the owner of their radio station - not because I think this makes them poor sources (it doesn't) but because it indicates that Moore's death was not considered noteworthy beyond a local scale, else you would see other outlets (even affiliated ones) writing their own obituaries
