Christian Peregin

All that the article says is that he's a blogger and a reporter for a Maltese newspaper. That doesn't satisfy WP:BIO, and the sources cited don't satisfy WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:40, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20080120/education/insite-blog-on-the-times-website clearly states that he was the CEO of Insite, however. The Times of Malta is a verifiable news source and therefore this article has no grounds for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianspleenovich (talk • contribs) 19:13, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, no sign of notability. (Having been "CEO" of a group of dubious notability doesn't somehow make you notable). Hairhorn (talk) 19:56, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I didn't know student organisations had CEOs. Things have obviously advanced since my days there... Brianspleenovich's comment about the Times of Malta may well be true. Unfortunately "insite-blog-on-the-times-website" sounds very much like a blog for some reason that escapes me. And being the CEO of a student organisation doesn't confer notability.

 * My apologies - that is a mini-article about the Insite blog. I still don't think any particular notability is inherent in running a student blog site - not without knowing how many minions the Chief Executive Officer had. It is possible to be CEO, chief cook and head bottlewasher all at once in a small 'organisation'. Peridon (talk) 18:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC) (posted earlier but sig missed off)

The student company/magazine Insite no longer operates - its website is closed down, thus Christian Peregin is the the former CEO, subsequently why the article is dated 20th January 2008. Simply because it is in the past does not mean it did not happen. Furthermore, Insite is not of dubious notability - it was quite an influential magazine when it existed, in Malta.Brianspleenovich (talk) 00:35, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It still seems to exist at http://www.insiteronline.com, although there's no reason to think a former "CEO" would be notable. Hairhorn (talk) 01:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh thank you for finding that! It is notable to be a former CEO because it carries a strong word with the student community of Malta (an EU country). Due to the fact that Insite itself is a notable voice; its former CEO is as well. Furthermore, the page about Christian Peregin has information about him being a journalist for the Times of Malta - the most circulated English-language paper in the country - so is clearly notable on that account.Brianspleenovich (talk) 00:53, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe the top editor of The Times of Malta is notable for being such, but not every single reporter on staff. I wouldn't say that every reporter at USA Today is notable by virtue of holding that job, even though that's the most circulated newspaper in the United States. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:59, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - not notable, the former "CEO" of a student org nowithstanding. (GregJackP (talk) 02:17, 10 April 2010 (UTC))
 * Delete. Sorry, but "carrying strong words" isn't one of the criteria of WP:BIO. No significant coverage by reliable secondary sources. — Rankiri (talk) 13:28, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being a newspaper reporter is not an inherent claim to notability. Nor is having been the CEO of an organization which itself has not been clearly established as notable yet. And two of the four "references" in this article don't even mention the subject. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:55, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
