Two references, one an interview, and the other from the same source lacking the diversity of references needed to demonstrate notability of a BLP. A preliminary WP:BEFORE didn't show much else. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 02:44, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

• Withdrawn by nominator I do a lot of AfDs, and this wasn't my proudest. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 00:53, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
• Delete not even close to enough to pass the general notability guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:22, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

• It's certainly not even close, but beyond that you couldn't be more wrong. Lepricavark (talk) 17:28, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Wow. Just wow. Carrite (talk) 13:47, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

• Keep - while poorly worded currently, and setting aside the significant coverage from FoxSports (as non-independent), there is plenty of other significant coverage from other RS: CBS Sports, USA Today, Sports Business Daily (subscription required), Yahoo Sports]. And that's on the first page. Add to that non-trivial (but I wouldn't call them significant coverage either) in ESPN, Sacramento Bee, Patriots Wire, NBC Sports, among many others, and this wasn't a very difficult decision for me.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep. Per Onel5969. Like his predecessor/mentor Mike Pereira, Blandino held one of the most important and widely-covered jobs in professional football, and he is now a high-profile commentator. Here is a nice ESPN profile from 2015. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:25, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

• Keep per above. This really isn't even debatable. Lepricavark (talk) 17:28, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
• Keep Passes GNG. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 17:32, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
• Keep per all above. Obvious WP:GNG pass. Ejgreen77 (talk) 00:33, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
• Keep - Huge GNG pass for this head of National Football League officiating. Should have been a speedy keep. Carrite (talk) 13:47, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
