editWikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.
Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, perhaps User:Wheezy22 (talk · contribs), or other recent contributors to this article, will make some constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.
Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.
To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings ... I realize that some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case. - triwbe (talk) 08:59, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
I would post links to articles, but I'm still getting used to wikipedia. I'm very new to the site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teddymalone (talk • contribs) 20:58, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
OK, take your time. I left a set of links to help you on your talk page. This fact I placed this message above and have not attempted to have this article deleted is because I trust that this is a worthy article, but it does require more work to get to first base. --triwbe (talk) 21:04, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Suggested Changes
editFirst - dear editors, please forgive me here, I'm new at this.
I would suggest changing "He was born in San Francisco, grew up on the peninsula in the bay area and has been the voice of Cal basketball since 1997. " to "Roxy Bernstein is currently in his 12th season as the broadcast voice for Universiity of California Golden Bears men's basketball on the ISP Sports/Cal Men's Basketball Radio Network."[1] Bernstein has held this position since 1997. He also currently hosts 'The Randy Bennett Radio Show', a weekly broadcast which features St. Mary's College men's baskeball coach Randy Bennett [2].
An examination of the "Touchdown Radio Productions" website does not make Bernstein's relationship with the organization clear.[3] On October 30th, 2008, Gino Torretta's blog does reference the following: "This past week our Touchdown Radio crew ( Roxy Bernstein, Mike Dempsey, Ed Murphy , Jim Carney and John Carney) was in Columbus for an old fashioned Big Ten battle between #3 Penn State and #10 Ohio State."[4]
The following passage in the article "Along the way to the major leagues he worked for numerous minor league baseball clubs, including the Sonoma County Crushers, Solano Steelheads, High Desert Mavericks and Tacoma Rainiers. Bernstein has shown his versatility providing play-by-play for the San Jose Sharks, Cal football, San Francisco Demons, NHL Radio, Westwood One and the NFL on Sports USA Radio Network, as well as numerous events on television." appears to be traceable to a page on the WQAM-AM web site [5]
The statement "Bernstein spent three years as a broadcaster with the Florida Marlins (2005-2007), teaming with legendary broadcaster Dave Van Horne, but left the Marlins to return to the bay area full-time." should also add "[a]fter the Marlins failed to renew Bernstein's contract at the end of the 1997 season." [6]
Left v. Non Renewed
editThe purpose of the wikis, as I understand it, is to provide neutral, verifiable information. Mr. Bernstein left the Marlins aftet the team failed to renew his contract, which is verified by citation to the Marlins website page dated 10/11/2007. Since I see no harm in stating that he left to return to the Bay Area, therefore I've left that in, but , objectively, the team failed to renew his contract. The termination of the contract is neither a positive nor a negative; it is simply a fact according to the cited source. If fishy35 has a verifiable, authoritative cite that can be produced to show that the decision to terminate the contract was Mr. Bernstein's, or that the Marlins presentation of the situation on their website is innacurate, then fishy35 should cite a link to that source.
