Andrew Gold (journalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:BLP of a journalist, not properly referenced as passing our notability standards for journalists. The notability claim here is that he and his work exist, with no indication of any major achievements (notable journalism awards, etc.) that would exempt him from having to clear WP:GNG on the sourcing -- but two of the three footnotes here are content self-published by his own employer, which are not support for notability at all, and the only one that comes from an independent third-party source is a short blurb that isn't substantive enough to get him over GNG all by itself if it's the only non-primary source on offer. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of considerably more than just one short blurb of independent coverage and analysis.
