Comment: Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO notability criteria. The state broadcasting award is not a "well-known and significant award or honor", there is no significant body of work and no authoritative biography. The citations are mainly locally published obituaries and about his death, funeral and the state award created in his name - no significant coverage of any lifetime achievements.

Bill Teegins (died January 27, 2001) was an American sportscaster. He worked for Oklahoma State University and was sports director for News 9.
Teegins, a Minnesota native,[1] was named Oklahoma Sportscaster of the Year eight times.[2][3][4]
On January 27, 2001, Teegins died aged 48 in a plane crash; the flight was also carrying two Oklahama Cowboys players and six staff members.[2][1] Teegins's funeral was attended by upwards of 1400 people. He was a member of the Lord of Life Church in Edmond, which only had seating for 200. Instead his funeral was held at Edmond's First Baptist with seating for 1,800.[5]
The Bill Teegins Award is named in his honor and is presented each year to sportscasters with Oklahoma ties.[6] In 2002, Teegins was posthumously inducted into the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.[7][6]
