Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pat Simonds
Looks like he's definitely cleared the bar on  to me, there's a lot of articles that come up just in the "news" link above--granted, some regional and local coverage but some national coverage as well.  While he's certainly not getting the "Free pass" that  grants, there's enough other sources and coverage here to warrant an article
