[edit] Mac VerStandig
Blogger & former college-newspaper-editor bio fails WP:BIO#Primary_criterion_for_Notability_of_people: has not "been the subject of secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject", and is not a special case; no secondary-source Google hits; possible WP:COI, whether WP:COI#Self-promotion or WP:COI#Close_relationships --Rrburke(talk) 14:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, one claim to notability is watered down as a decision of his colleagues on the editorial board, which means he himself is not notable. I think you'd have to do something extraordinary as a college newspaper editor to be notable, and that isn't enough (particularly since it was a "protest" similarly echoed elsewhere). --Dhartung | Talk 04:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - Editor of a student newspaper who never did anything notable seems to fail WP:BIO. PaddyM 03:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
