Talk:James Wieghart

Untitled
Great article but left out an interesting part of his career as a journalist when he did investigative writing in Milwaukee (mafia, crooked policemen, crooked circuit court judge, FBI). Also he lived in Lake, Michigan, not Lake City, Michigan. They are two totally different places. I am one of his daughters.75.51.107.169 (talk) 22:32, 26 May 2012 (UTC) Elizabeth Queen

james wieghart(pronounced WEE-hart) is interesting and he should be in the same section of Wikipedia where H.L. Mencken is. Really. Its also an important article that will contribute to the "Iran-Contra affair" article.

declined speedt deletion
I have declined to speedily delete this article. Per WP:CSD, the article certainly asserts significance, a lower standard than notability. Based on his overall career-- including newspaper bureau chief and chair of journalism department at university-- and the number of 3rd party sources that have written about him, I believe we  must pause before deleting to fully evaluate the subject and that 3rd party coverage. Links offered below for perusal of other editors:
 * Google book hits
 * Google news hits, including material written by subject.
 * Google Web hits, incuding Obits

Cheers, and happy editing. Dloh  cierekim  18:10, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
