[edit] Jacob Richler

Jacob Richler (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Does not meet the notability criteria for people, notability is not inherited. Guest9999 05:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Would suggest merge, but content already exists in the appropriate articles Mordecai Richler and Jacob Two-Two. —Caesura(t) 06:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Was probably eligible for a speedy. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 08:17, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete -- no evidence presented of notability and just one sentence. If something changes, I'm willing to reconsider. --A. B. (talk) 14:25, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Somebody was awfully lazy or sloppy here. Jacob Richler is, in fact, notable in his own right as a newspaper columnist, although obviously the current version of the article left that rather salient fact out. I'll look after expanding it, so I guess this is a keep vote. Bearcat (talk) 22:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - widely published columnist and author. Satisfies WP:BIO: as a writer for a national newspaper, "The person has demonstrable wide name recognition". Ground Zero | t 23:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Notable national newspaper food and restaurant columnist who happens to be Mordecai Richler's son. Keep. --YUL89YYZ (talk) 23:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: thanks to Bearcat's work, this is now a completely different article from the one that was nominated. The nominated article was a stub that did not establish notability. This no longer applies. Ground Zero | t 23:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
  • The new-and-improved article establishes his notability as a writer for a national newspaper. Keep. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 01:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Per Paul Erik. J. Richler has written for many of Canada's most prominent publications.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not notable whatsoever because he is Mordecai Richler's son, but is notable because he is a well-known columnist. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Withdraw Nomination on the grounds that the article has changed so much that my original nomnation is flawed and does not cover any relevant issues to be considered (even if others think that the article should still be deleted). Close without prejudice. [[Guest9999 (talk) 17:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)]]
  • Delete per Caesura. GJ (talk) 19:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep His stature as a national newspaper columnist is enough. The fact that he is the inspiration for one of the best known characters in Canadian fiction makes the decision all the more easy. Victoriagirl (talk) 00:30, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
