David I. Leavitt

This is an article about a non-notable journalist. The article cites no sources. Bryan Hopping T  15:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This individual is not notable. A Google search returns many results from David Leavitt, a notable journalist, so I refined the search by adding "Virilion" (Google News Archive with "Virilion") (Virilion is the agency where he works), Google search with "Hartford Courant" (Google News Archive with "Hartford Courant") (Hartford Courant is the daily newspaper where he serves as a freelance writer). These searches return few results that are not blogs. Most are not directly about him. I've also many results about a person with this name in a source like this Google Books, but this result is about David Leavitt the novelist, not David I. Leavitt the journalist. The same goes with this article, which is about David Leavitt the prosecutor, not David I. Leavitt the journalist. I've done many searches on David I. Leavitt, but I can't find enough reliable sources to allow him to pass WP:BIO. Cunard (talk) 17:00, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
