[edit] Jason King (journalist)

Prodded as Yet another minor music journalist. Greil Marcus he's not. Deprodded on grounds Greil Marcus isn't the cutoff point for journalists, and article asserts regular appearances in major media. This latter point is true as this google search confirms (~600 hits) [1], but is simply organising a symposium (and hence enjoying the brief spotlight of media exposure) actually synonymous with notability? He is an Assistant Professor of Recorded Music. Eusebeus 23:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep,, bad faith/vandalous nomination; nominator acknowledges that subject meets 5K standard for published authors. Monicasdude 00:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The 5K test is much too low, but Vibe and The Village Voice are pretty notable to have articles in. And Monica, disagreeing with a deletion or even nominating a deletion that easily fits in policy is not necessarily vandalism. Stop assuming bad faith. JoshuaZ 02:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Vibe and Village Voice. Article should provide one or two cites of columns per WP:V. Thatcher131 04:02, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Conditional Keep The article should contain links to verifiable information. Another instance showing that notability is relative and if the information can be verified, the article should be kept. DanielZimmerman 17:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

• This nomination was incomplete, listing now. - Liberatore(T) 13:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Verifiable in principle; "notability" sucks. David L Rattigan 19:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per DanielZimmerman. --Coredesat 00:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep Associate chairs, and maybe all professors, at NYU are inherently notable. JeffBurdges 11:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
