[edit] Joshua Foer

This article is on a freelance journalist. Only claim to notability is being the brother of another reporter and the brother of a novelist. While I don't consider this a real assertion of notability, other users do, so I am bringing it here. Delete as not meeting WP:BIO. --Hetar 03:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC) Withdrawn due to expansion and addition of sources by author. --Hetar 16:01, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as nn-bio. Tagged it.  RasputinAXP  c 03:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per expansion by the author at my request. 27,600 google hits. Has written for NYT, Slate, etc. - Jersyko·talk 03:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete, many of the Google results are duplicates and any writer that has worked for a few years for newspaper(s) that put content online is going to have a bunch of results, kind of like porn actors. Given additional evidence, I will reconsider. -- Kjkolb 04:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep he is a reporter for major newspapers. Plus all porn actresses are already on WP ;) - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 04:53, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as it this person meets the WP:BIO definition here: Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 06:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets WP:BIO per Jersyko. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 14:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• keep please he already meets the bio requirements Yuckfoo 01:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral; finely balanced as to notability. Runcorn 10:59, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
