Tagged for speedy deletion for notability issues. I do not know much about the field of journalism however this persons seems to have a number of awards, according to the article, which may make him notable? Even know the parents "Knights Fellowship" article is non notable and was deleted. SGGH speak! 00:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak keep It says he is an editorial writer and I know editorials are a big part of a newspaper and that the newspaper he writes for is a very big newspaper in Oregon (it has its own article, by the way, if you need more info). I might be wrong and there might be fifty editorial writers, making him not necessarily notable, but I still think the article deserves some sort of fighting chance.

  • Definite Keep - Guy won the Pulitzer as shown here [1]. That in itself establishes notability. However, agree with nominator - article is definitely in need of a rewite. Shoessss |  Chat  00:46, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Pulitzer confirmation, article still needs a re-write and I'm not familiar enough to do so. Travellingcari (talk) 01:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. some pole-vaulter with the same name gets in the way of his ghits, but his confirmed awards make him notable. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 03:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
