Individual is no longer a public figure/does not appear to have a public profile. He appears to have been a journalist for a former publication and hasn't been published in another for several years. Gentek16 (talk) 23:33, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete The rationale provided by the nominator is not valid but in any case the article is sourced to the subject’s own website except for a single event in 2013 so on the basis of WP:BLP1E I think deletion is appropriate. Mccapra (talk) 04:11, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nothing stated in the article hands him an "inherent" notability freebie — writers are not automatically guaranteed Wikipedia articles just because their writing exists — but the article is not reliably sourced anywhere near well enough to actually get him over WP:GNG.

 * Delete I can't find sources for notability. Barca (talk) 01:08, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete There just isn't a lot of press about the subject that isn't merely a passing mention (or just an article he wrote himself). Gargleafg (talk) 01:53, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SNOW. I hate to pile on, but ... Journalists do not automatically inherit notability from the publications that publish them or about whom they cover. Coverage is local to Ottawa, or his own website. Bearian (talk) 22:30, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
