[edit] Paul Reilly (Journalist)

Paul Reilly (Journalist) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Sub-stub article on non-notable journalist from Belfast, fails WP:BIO. The only references are links to articles which he has written, though I also found his own website at paul-reilly.com, which suggests that he is a young journalist just starting his career. A google search for "Paul Reilly" journalist throws up plenty of hits for his own website under several different domain names, and his own youtube uploads, but after the first page of hits the results all seem to be about others. The contribs list of the page's author Psr84 (talk · contribs) lists this as his only article, and from Reilly's website it would appear that he was born 1984 or 85, so this artuicle may be an autobiography, in breach of WP:COI.

• Delete Even if someone else created the article, just being a journalist isn't enough for an article according to WP:BIO. Wait until some other reliable sources outside Wikipedia write about him before creating an article here (based on those sources). --Minimaki (talk) 13:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
