This article appears to be about two different people. One reference comes from http://cargocollective.com/thebookofbob/admin ( the internal admin page for http://cargocollective.com/thebookofbob/ ) which means this article was likely edited by whoever controls http://cargocollective.com/thebookofbob/ and mistook the /admin url for a link to a live page. One appears to be a dead african american television journalist, the other appears to be a living white copywriter. I'd maintain the former is more notable, if this article is to be kept at all 2605:E000:8101:BB00:7CD8:A9F9:1BE0:F6EA (talk) 06:42, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this stub as a member of WikiProject Journalism. Hopefully, this article fills the bill until additional information is added, I have expanded and rated as a start class journalism article. On a side note, I find it a little bit sad that the article sat unfinished, for so many years. I didn't find enough information, at this point, to use any heading other than "Biography," where I just laid out information in chronological order. Hopefully, others will continue to contribute, until the article is finihed. Mollifiednow (talk) 20:09, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
