Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Troy Townsin
Removing the weak as I look more into it and realize how limited of a notability claim there really is) Working in the wine industry in Washington state, I am very familiar with the BC wine industry and I've heard of Troy before and seen him at BC events (though I've never personally met him). He is a bit of a "local celebrity" in the BC wine industry because of his local radio show and he does a lot of events for local wineries. The key word here is ''local'' and his influence doesn't extend beyond the small BC wine industry--not across the border in Washington and not even in Canada's other major wine regions in Ontario. Even his radio show segment doesn't get much play beyond Vancouver Island. Looking at available reliable sources on http://www.ablegrape.com/search.jsp?lang=en&query=%22Troy+Townsin%22 Ablegrape (a search engine geared specifically for wine reliable sources) shows very little independent, third party sources beyond local BC winery blogs and websites that offer any worthwhile  to help establish notability. My sentiment is "weak" because, again, he is pretty much a fixture at local BC wine events. But ultimately I fall on delete because I don't think just being a local wine fixture for a small wine industry is much of a claim for notability. Truth be told, every wine region has ''several'' "Troy Townsins" of their own doing local radio, podcasts, guest judging, self published books/blogs, etc but very, very few of them (even from major wine regions like Napa Valley) will ever have the kind of notability that should merit a Wikipedia article
