- Keep Lack of sources is grounds for improvement, not deletion. GNews, GBooks, and GScholar have enough hits to provide sourcing. Edward321 (talk) 14:01, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Not sure why this is at AFD - subject seems notable both as a journalist and as an editor. ϢereSpielChequers 17:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep Notable as an editor, I guess. As an author, I find lots of stuff written BY him, at notable publications ranging from The Guardian to Politico to American Spectator to Reason. But where is the independent sourcing ABOUT him, that we are supposed to demand as a condition of notability? I couldn't find any. Edward, if you found independent reliable sources ABOUT him (rather than BY him), please cite a few. --MelanieN (talk) 01:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
