Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Dotson
The nominator first tells us that "This auctioneer's known only from his appearances on the series ''Storage Wars''," which is not true, as shown http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5437864&ft=1&f=1021 here, in this NPR segment featuring Dotson that was aired 4 years before the show's premiere.  (Even if it were true, being the host of a popular, national TV series could certainly make Dotson meet the criteria for notability).  The nominator then mentions that "none of the five stars of the show have their own articles," which is not a reason for deletion (nominator, please familiarize yourself with  before submitting further nominations!).  Dotson has significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject http://news.yahoo.com/american-auctioneers-founder-dan-dotson-endorses-storage-treasures-210047014.html here, http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/5/prweb8458957.htm here, and http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/life/20110128/storage28_va.art.htm here, among others
