Unnotable person. Fails WP:BIO and WP:N. Without significant coverage, can not properly meet WP:BLP. Prod removed by User:T. Anthony with note of "appears notable as a businessman" however said use added no sources to back up this claim nor modified the article at all. He has almost no actual news coverage, with most news reports for a person with this name being about a Reno cop killed in the line of duty. Like most business executives, he has been quoted in various news bits about his company, but that is about the company and does not in itself confer notability to him nor is it possible to craft a valid biographical article from that. As it is, such reports can only confirm his job titles and role in the works he's been involved with. Without significant coverage about himself, the article cannot meet WIkipedia's guidelines for a living person, which he is despite its incorrect lead stating that he "was" a person. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:16, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note Unfortunately, there is Reno police officer named John Bohach who was sadly killed in the line of duty in August 2001 and whose name is many articles both before and after his death. This complicates an online search. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:20, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep This article's John Bohach was written up in Playthings (March 01, 2000), and has been quoted in Advertising Age (Aug 2, 1999), New York Times (Feb 28, 1996), New York Times (Aug 9, 1993), Newsday (Dec 11, 1988), New York Times (Dec 22, 1989), twice in Milwaukee Journal (Dec 22, 1989), Toledo Blade (Dec 28, 1989), Beacon Journal (Dec 22, 1989), Spokane Chronicle (Dec 21, 1989), Moscow-Pullman Daily News (Dec 21, 1989). Time to visit a library to see if these sources can WP:V the facts in the article. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:21, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think I may have been hasty removing the prod on this one, but businesspeople often do get shorted here. Still apologies for any error.--T. Anthony (talk) 02:24, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A resume roundup that meets nothing Wikipedia, including any of the subsections of WP:GNP related to Nelvana or WP:ENT. The major sources listed above I found were minor mentions where Bohach is quoted as an advertising spokesman for one of several toy manufacturing companies. Searches uncover no evidence of any significant coverage in anything WP:RS or anything remotely meeting WP:BLP. Flowanda | Talk 05:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't see some quotes in various newspapers getting him past WP:BIO. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:06, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete primary claim to non-notability is being among several associate producers or a fairly minor kids' cartoon. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
