Non-notable journalist just doing his job. No significant independent coverage about him or his publications. The provided references fail to establish notability. GermanJoe (talk) 19:52, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete or maybe move to The Blaze#Personalities where he is mentioned - My searches of "Billy Hallowell journalist" at News, Books, browser and highbeam returned results but nothing significant so there's nothing to suggest solid independent notability at this time.

 * Delete - seems somewhat self-promotional. Isn't writing some articles and interviewing some people what journalists are supposed to do?  Nothing suggests WP:JOURNALIST notability.--Rpclod (talk) 05:05, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to TheBlaze (with the history preserved under the redirect) per SwisterTwister in lieu of deletion. I was unable to find substantial coverage about the subject to allow him to pass Notability. Preserving the history will allow the redirect to be easily undone if editors in the future find more sources about the subject that could be used to source and expand the article significantly.
