Subject does not meet the notability guidelines at WP:PEOPLE. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:17, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. The article is supported by three newspaper articles, suggesting continued notability over a period of years. On the other hand, Youra is head of the Olympic Peninsula Travel Association, which is now at AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Olympic Peninsula Travel Association. --Eastmain (talk) 19:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment: one of the newspaper articles is basically just a promotional feature for a service set up by the subject though. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm feelin a little bit picked on here everyone is trying to give my hard work the AXE. I will be working to establish notability and be providing more references. Allot of the material press releases I have are from old news papers but not on the web. How can I use past news articles that predatre the internet to establish notability? Also for those of you who wish to torpedo my work, I would like to request that you offer suggestions as to how it could be made worthey of Wikipedia material rather that just simply touting it as spam or advertising. jwsnyder101 (talk) 22:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.165.4.197 (talk)
It's fine to use newspapers that pre-date the internet so long as they're references properly. Some users have access to LexisNexis so these can be found online in any case. However, note that media coverage should be independent of the subject to establish notability, which press releases are not. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - the evidence is a bit weak. Can you find anything else? Bearian (talk) 15:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Verifiable, editor-in-chief of an apparently includable book, so includable himself. --Oldak Quill 16:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
