Other than the Variety obituary already referenced in the article, I have been unable to find any other reliable sources with significant coverage. While I don't dispute that the article's subject wrote for multiple notable television shows, this doesn't establish notability by itself. Martey (talk) 18:44, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

- Comment I looked through newspapers.com to see if anything came up, and there was a little about his stand-up, but not much, although most newspapers after the 80s aren't on there. Note for anyone else: he is not the same guy as the Mike Martineau talking about safe sex in a ton of newspapers c. 1995. 1brianm7 (talk) 19:14, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: A clear case of WP:NOTMEMORIAL; I see the article was created the month after the subject died. Ravenswing 19:39, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- Delete - per Ravenswing as well as lack of WP:SIGCOV - doesn't meet WP:GNG FiddleheadLady (talk) 01:43, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
