Deletion of Pete Williams (journalist)

Comment: He passes olitician Based off of point 1 considering that the criteria for notability is simply Holding national office (Assistant SecDef qualifies).  He passes The  criteria for "Any Biography" off of point number 1 for receiving the "First Ammendment Award" as well.  I don't think the issue of notability is in question here but one of whether a poorly written / sourced BLP should be deleted because we hold BLPs to a much higher standard.  I tend to agree that if a BLP can't be written well it shouldn't be written at all but am still on the fence regarding whether this particular article can be improved enough to meet BLP standards

Comment: I'm conflicted...  On face value he seems to easily meet notability (being a veteran journalist for a national network and all) but in this case standard |tests I usually perform for BLP are more or less useless.  On first glance of any search engine test it looks like he's very much notable but when you look at the hits for the vast majority of them aren't about Mr. Williams but only mention his name in the byline or as the reporting journalist which in my opinion makes those links not applicable to notability (per the example of a company spokesman who's name appears on all of the companies press releases not being notable just because he gets a lot of hits on google).  On the other hand I'd assume that there HAS to be something out there that meets  that actually gives relevent information on Mr. Williams himself that could be added to the BLP.  I say give the rescue team a week or so to try and dig something up (I will try as well) and if after due diligence we can't find anything more than his NBC bio that meets  we merge to NBC News#Personnel

Comment: Williams was very much in the public eye as the DoD spokesperson during the Gulf War, and has had a steady national career as a broadcaster since then.  Even if you just confine yourself to the NY Times archive, there are plenty of sources for an article http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?frow=0&n=10&srcht=s&query=%22pete+williams%22+department+defense+&srchst=nyt&submit.x=38&submit.y=12&submit=sub&hdlquery=&bylquery=&daterange=full&mon1=01&day1=01&year1=1981&mon2=01&day2=29&year2=2010 http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?frow=0&n=10&srcht=s&query=%22pete+williams%22+nbc+&srchst=nyt&submit.x=10&submit.y=8&submit=sub&hdlquery=&bylquery=&daterange=full&mon1=01&day1=01&year1=1981&mon2=01&day2=29&year2=2010, including http://www.nytimes.com/2000/07/26/us/the-2000-campaign-the-running-mate-the-armchair-general-richard-bruce-cheney.html?scp=1&sq=&pagewanted=all his outing.
