Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph M. Brook
I'm heavily debating closing this early and just processing it as a  scenario. A search brings up nothing to show that this person is notable per Wikipedia guidelines. There's an assertion on the talk page that Brook has won awards from the South Carolina Press Association, however a search for his name doesn't bring up anything, either under Joseph or Joe Brook. Offhand I doubt that these awards would count towards anything on Wikipedia since https://www.wofford.edu/woffordtoday/summer2015/BrightFutures/ this primary source states that it was for work he did on a student paper. While there are some student-related matters that can give notability, it's extremely rare and would require some amount of coverage - which isn't out there. The only sources that have covered Brook appear to be entirely primary, which cannot show notability
