Doesn't satisfy the criteria detailed at WP:CREATIVE (which includes journalists), hasn't been widely cited by peers or successors, no new concepts/techniques/major roles/critical attention or significant contributions. ƒ(Δ)² 08:34, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: nil sources, fails basic criteria. Fifelfoo (talk) 08:45, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Added some sources, significant coverage here, here and here in particular. That's good enough for WP:N as far as I'm concerned. Gr1st (talk) 22:19, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak delete - if the article could be appropriately sourced, he'd be notable as a prolific and award-winning journalist. The sources for the relevant claims aren't there yet, though, (even after Gr1st's work above) so at this stage delete. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:08, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- He doesn't have to be prolific or award-winning. He just has to be the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I don't see where the above three references fall down on that. Gr1st (talk) 11:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:GNG provides guidelines for a presumption of notability. The presumption is rebuttable. In assessing whether the presumption is rebutted it's appropriate to look at secondary policies, including (in this case) WP:CREATIVE. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:32, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
