I would've PRODed too as my searches have basically found nothing convincing at all aside from a few links for events such as book events and such, nothing particularly convincing. SwisterTwister  talk  06:49, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep, improve, and advise Nom to run WP:BEFORE. I ran a single, simple Proquest News archive search on "Charles Harrington Elster"  1st hit is a profile in a major metropolitan daily: "A MAN OF HIS `WORD' | ... and yours, as it turns out -- meet Charles Harrington Elster, answer man: [1,2,3 Edition. Wilkens, John. The San Diego Union - Tribune [San Diego, Calif] 13 Nov 2005".  The next several hits are columns he wrote as teh vacation fill-in for William Safire in the "On Language" column in the New York Times.  There are 450 hits.  the first page includes reviews of his books, stories and profiles about him, co-host gigs on National Public Radio, articles he wrote - all in major, mainstream media (mostly big city daily newspapers). Potential sourcing totally passes WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:06, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
