[edit] Brian Michael Jenkins

Brian Michael Jenkins (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article is unsourced, full of random thoughts like "he works for Kroll", and is apparently just a clever ad for his book. Nardman1 12:50, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Unconquerable_Nation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) his book, also including in the nomination. Nardman1 12:55, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:A unless references are shown by end of this AfD Alf^Photoman 15:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. A resumé. May be notable if he has worked with so many government agencies, but there should be sources and maybe a little more detail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parsleyjones (talk • contribs)
• Keep - Subject of the article seems notable enough, having worked in government, called to testify before Congress, been a featured expert for Frontline, CNN and NPR, and been the focus of articles such as in Omni. The problems with the article aren't grave enough to necessitate deletion. --notJackhorkheimer ^{(talk / contribs)} 06:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Despite the article's fantastic tone, there is nothing about him that meets notability standards in WP:BIO. There is a grand total of ONE news article anywhere that mentions his name, and it is to quote him about something. The article is not about him. --Mus Musculus 04:35, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Huh? One news articles that mentions him? I think either your search engine is busted or you're mistyping the search.

• Strong Keep This is one of the biggest terrorism pundits in the media. If you don't recognize the name, it's likely because his middle name is rarely used - the article should probably be moved. However, if you use the terms ["brian jenkins" terrorism], you will see that he gets tens of thousands of Ghits[24], he's quoted in a half-dozen current articles on Gnews[25], and he's got several hundred hits in Google News Archive[26]. --Groggy Dice T | C 03:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep This dude is quoted everywhere - NPR[27], CNN[28], etc.; he also spoke to the 9-11 Commission hearings[29]. He seems to be widely recognized as a foremost authority on terrorism.Carlaclaws 21:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. In addition to everything mentioned above, here are four interviews with Paula Zahn of CNN. I am inclined to think that this was simply a case of mistaken identity (i.e., searching for "Brian Michael Jenkins" instead of just "Brian Jenkins" or "Brian Jenkins" +terrorism. -- Black Falcon 02:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
