Article was tagged for being the creation of a banned user, but was ineligible for such. May not meet the notability guideline for biographies and looks like a stub.  Nilocla  ♈ ☮ 卍  22:09, 31 August 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I think this is a close one. He's written a seemingly notable book. He's been interviewed and is mentioned in reliable sources. I'm not sure this is enough to get over WP:CREATIVE or WP:GNG. Can anyone find an independent source that's largely about him? If so, I think I'd say keep. P. D.

 * Keep. It is generally difficult for journalists to get secondary coverage. This guy isn't just a journalist, though, he's also the online opinion editor for the Examiner. A quick Google News search reveals that he is published and, more importantly, cited all over the place, and articles like this, from The Times, prove that his opinion is valued in different places, not just on US right-wing blogs.

 * Keep There are enough sources meeting WP:RS to make this individual notable. There's a lot that can be done with this article. HeartSWild (talk) 14:41, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - Almost content-free, biographically speaking. Carrite (talk) 01:56, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seems to meet WP:BIO through coverage in reliable sources. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 03:23, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
