• Comment: I consider journalists presumptively notable. Can you develop this nomination further? — Adrian Lamo ·· 23:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't think that every editor of every magazine is notable enough for an encyclopedia article. These magazines that he lists do not even have articles on Wikipedia. I think that some demonstration of further contribution is necessary to demonstrate notability. Not to mention, autobiography generally seems to be a sign of a lack of notability. If you have to write an article about yourself, how notable can you be? There's a reason why it's the first thing listed on WP:BAI. Fightindaman 00:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks. I agree, he's not a terribly notable journalist, though a strict reading of the guidelines might judge him notable. I appreciate your taking the time to add to your nomination! — Adrian Lamo ·· 00:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete as non-notable journalist, with ~500 Google hits, not all of them related. — Adrian Lamo ·· 00:15, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, "editor-in-chief of Car Audio And Electronics magazine" passing WP:BIO. Kappa 03:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: But is this magazine notable? If the magazine is not notable then it's editor in chief is not notable. Fightindaman 03:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Yep, still think it should be deleted. — Adrian Lamo ·· 06:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no evidence of notability. dbtfz^talk 07:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Editor-in-chief of a (presumably) nationwide magazine is somewhat notable, and I'd vote keep if anybody other than User:WBurton had written the article. Snurks ^{T C} 08:04, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete it all looks non notable to me. -- Samir ∙ T C 09:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
