Person has not come closer to passing WP:JOURNALIST since the page was first nominated for deletion in 2006. Despite being a high-level editor at CNET, sources about (not by) this person are scarce. If there is no consensus to delete, possibly redirect to CNET or Buzz Out Loud. KidAd  •  SPEAK  18:25, 31 December 2021 (UTC) Relisting comment: Not eligible for soft deletion.

 * Comment this is a tough one. There's an article by another Cnet person about his 1988 Ford station wagon and literally hundreds of hits on articles he's written over the years. Based on the volume of work he's done, I think he might just be notable, or at least earn a sub-seciton in the main CNet article. He's given interviews for NPR as a tech expert, so he's somewhat well known in the media landscape.Oaktree b (talk) 21:14, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to CNET. Coverage of the individual himself is limited to minimal author bios on various works he has produced. No indication in teh article or in searches that passes the GNG or any applicable SNG. Eggishorn  (talk) (contrib) 14:07, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
