[edit] Justin McLachlan

Justin McLachlan (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

In my haste to organize Category:People from West Virginia into subcategories, I may have rushed to speedy this artilce. After some discussion, it was decided that some discussion was needed. Basically, McLachlan's claim to notability is his work for a small-market news paper (where he won an award from the West Virginia Press Association) and for a website that may or may not pass WP:WEB. Combined, the user still flunks the guidelines at WP:BIO. As User:Rossami said at the DRV, "the article does appear to be more of a resume than evidence of a person who meets our generally accepted inclusion criteria. The page is remarkably well-sourced but the achievements are not particularly different than the accomplishments of any other aggressive young reporter." y'amer'can (wtf?) 14:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
