  • keep - Notability for persons: demonstrable wide name recognition, or the person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field. The article asserts this: "one of the foremost writers on cricket in Scotland, contributing to a number of newspapers including The Sun, Scotland on Sunday and The Sunday Mail." Unfortunately it's still a stublike article, and doesn't have enough references perhaps, but I haven't seen a rule requiring that all stubs be killed off. Anyway, I feel that the USA isn't the whole world, and that sportscasters in other countries deserve as much space in Wikipedia as American ones, so I vote keep.
