Alan Fisher (broadcast journalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article had to be largely blanked for lack of reliable secondary sources backing up claims which were made. BLP Prod was not possible given when the article was created. I thought he might be notable being a correspondent for Al Jazeera, but my attempts to establish notability through what has been written about him rather than by him have failed.

Withdraw nomination. Thank you to all who found secondary source coverage, which now seems to be ample. I was previously able to find nothing - probably, as Czar suggested, because of false-positives. Jay Σεβαστός discuss  04:30, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: I'm withholding my vote for now as it appears that RSs are findable. The problem is that his name is quite common and so if you search it's better to use a Boolean search term. There are many clues for searching in the blanked history. The best way to save the article is to find awards he has won. Fisher has been a journalist for around 30 years. I agree with the nominator that the article was written poorly and not sourced at all.Crtew (talk) 06:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
