Mychael Urban is currently the Comcast Sports Bay Area MLB Insider. Additionally, he is a fill-in sports talk show host on KNBR-650 in San Francisco. He is an accomplished journalist, author and TV personality. I am compiling additional biographical information for this page but I am a new contributor so I would like guidance on what to include and what not to include.

Just skimming through the article I see some points you could address. (1) After giving his full name at the beginning of the article, generally you should refer to him by his last name in the balance of the article. (2) You refer to his vast resume of sports journalism highlights, but you didn't link to a source verifying this claim. How can we click on something and see a description of his sports journalism activities, credits, etc.? And shouldn't your article tell the reader about these activities in order to establish the notability of your subject? (3) A small point but I am not a sports person so I don't know what an "Insider" is as it is used in your article. Possibly you could state this differently or provide some kind of elaboration. (4) The subheading "CSN Bay Area" seems to have no content. (5) The subhead for the book should probably just read "Book". (5) In my opinion, rather than providing a link to Amazon, the better way to cite the book is to use the template at Template:Citation and use the simple one author version. Cut, paste, fill in the blanks. Simple. (6) Can you provide "wikilinks" for the San Francisco Giants and for Redwood City? (7) The statement under the "Giants Pregame" subhead does not have a supporting reference.

Always consider the use of an "Infobox". They just help marshal your facts and point out what else you (and inquiring minds) need to know. There is the general Template:Infobox person, and the Template:Infobox sports announcer, among others.

Possibly combine items under a single subhead "Professional Life" or something similar, since you don't really have a lot on this subject yet. If after dealing with the "resume" issue noted above and doing some more digging you have more, then possibly you could break things out under subheads.
