from WP:LOCALINT : "Sources from local papers and other materials found within the city or town can be used, and may even be exclusively used to establish notability." And..."Most likely, an article on a local interest will be created by someone who lives in the area, has previously lived there, or has spent a significant amount of time there. This is perfectly acceptable, and in fact encouraged, provided that those creating these articles are aware of these guidelines". With MPR and KFAI as the two prime notable sources, I think this satisfies.Kafkacafe (talk) 16:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

=If the notability of an existing local interest article is questioned=

Start out by placing the {{local}} tag on the article. Leave it there for a while.
If no improvement is made to show notability beyond the local area, suggest the article be merged
If after a while, still no improvement is made, complete the merge"

From WP:LOCALINT I have yet to locate a source outside of the twin cities.Dethlock99 (talk) 18:51, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So...is there a chance for merging? Kafkacafe (talk) 19:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Extremely obscure person who is just starting out in film. Not notable at this point. Qworty (talk) 02:47, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable for his area. I've seen far less notable local interests remain here. The Zwinky (talk) 21:36, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- comment - no offense, but that sounds a lot like the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:23, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
