[edit] Chris Yandek

Chris Yandek (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The only claim to notability appears to be that he has interviewed some notable people, but an interviewer does not become notable by association. In the criteria at WP:BIO, the most relevant category seems to be "creative professionals", and I don't see any evidence that he meets the criteria listed there - he does not appear to be regarded as an "important figure" as far as I can tell. Additionally, it appears that this may be a vanity entry - the only contributions have come from User:Miami18, who has no other edits, and three anonymous addresses.

• He has created a platform that is diverse online. There aren't many online outlets that feature the list of interview subjects he has. He definitely should be listed under creative professionals. He is relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.231.129.115 (talk) 21:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

• I am just a primary author of this article. This journalist has a collection of stories and has made mainstream headlines with his own website and platform. It is worth putting into Wikipedia. The website is original and independent. That's what makes it interesting. That website is an archive and good source for many famous people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.231.129.115 (talk) 04:06, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: Fails WP:BIO for creative professionals. Now, if the guy had several independent articles written about him.... --Sc straker 15:26, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

• The journalist has been profiled on national radio. You can hear that segment on his biography page on his website. He is note frequently for his interviews in the mainstream that have made news. He has noteriety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.231.129.115 (talk) 15:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
