Brad Johnson (journalist)

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

The references cited contain many mentions of him, but I can't see any substantial coverage about him as a person. This in HuffPo is probably the most detailed coverage but his role still only merited a relatively small chunk of the source. My own searches have not turned up anything better, so it doesn't appear as if WP:BIO or WP:CREATIVE are met. SmartSE (talk) 23:38, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I've read Johnson and am unclear why this particular entry would be targeted. Johnson's career is wide-ranging, from leadership to publishing. I'm curious as to what would even bring a deletion like this to someone's radar. Quotesout (talk) 16:50, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, have to say that I wonder, as well. From a number of venues and situations (such as his work at Think Progress/Climate Progress, his blog / newsletter HillHeat (https://hillheat.news/), founding executive director of Climate Hawks (https://theintercept.com/staff/brad-johnson/)), Johnson's writing/work has had influence on domestic U.S. climate-science/-policy discussions.  Many phrases / ideas / issues / framings first raised by Johnson have been later echoed / repeated in more traditional/larger outlets over the years.   He's had influence and reach even as/if he has (yet) been profiled in the NY Times. SiegeAD (talk) 18:34, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * KEEP ... oops ... should have started comment above with that. Johnson seems legit, to me, for a Wiki page. SiegeAD (talk) 18:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * KEEP I see from the reply I am supposed to put a "KEEP" in the comment. I am still confused as to why this would be a page marked for deletion. I've seen a lot less important pages on Wikipedia. Could this be a targeted effort?  66.44.16.222 (talk) 20:17, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Quotesout, the best argument to Keep an article is not making ridiculous charges of an article being targeted but finding reliable sources that will establish notability. Claims without evidence are just opinions and are not persuasive. For what it's worth, there are about 100 articles nominated for deletion every single day and I doubt they are all someone's targets.
