Original author chose to remove tags asking for sources rather than improve the article [1]. Non-notable journalist, fails WP:BIO. One Night In Hackney 13:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - edited a book, The Howard Factor (ISBN 0-522-85284-X), coeditor of the main national broadsheet over here, The Australian. Not sure whether this is enough to pass WP:BIO. MER-C 13:34, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Quick google search indicates him to be a well-known and published journalist/editor at least in Austrailia. Meets WP:BIO in my opinion. Ccscott 18:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Reply: 'm thinking "widely recognized... opinion maker", and "published ... editors... who received multiple independent reviews" for at least The Howard Factor which seems widely reviewed (google search) and perhaps his own columns although I have not searched. Google also reveals he is an editor for the some of the publications from the International Red Cross. Plus, sifting through the numerous google hits reveals some potential mentions in other media so he might even meet WP:N directly. Ccscott 15:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Widespread media coverage? I got 3,000+ LexisNexis hits on him. Stories he's written, profiles, reviews of his book... I honestly don't even know where I'd begin to expand it. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 19:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Conditional Weak Keep. You guys are showing me that this article can certainly be expanded. Barely seems notable now, if hes that notable in Australia add some substance and sources to the article.--Wizardman 04:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Wikipedia is an English-speaking dictionaryencyclopedia. Little known fact... People in Australia mostly speak English! I think he's good enough to stay but the article needs some expansion. Tarinth 22:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Peripitus (Talk) 23:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, "The Howard Factor" is notable, mainly because The Australian spruiked it so much. Add this to him being one of the editors of Australia's only national newspaper, and you've got notability. Lankiveil 11:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep per Mer-c. I will add to WP:ACOTF to attempt to raise profile of article.Garrie 04:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, can be reasonably cited. ~ Flameviper 22:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
