Harry Lambert (journalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Although the subject has written for several notable publications, I have yet to find evidence the subject meets general notability guidelines, e.g. WP:BASIC or WP:JOURNALIST. Per WP:NOTINHERITED, notability is not inherited by having notable relatives nor interviewing notable people. The sources currently or previously used in the article tend to be either passing mentions, primary sources (written by the author), affiliated sources (written by the subject's employer/publisher) and/or self-published sources (e.g. tweets, personal blogs).

I do note that BBC editor Amol Rajan praised one of Lambert's articles, with a nomination (or bestowing?) of Rajan's personal "Russell Prize", but this alone does not establish notability. I believe it's at least currently WP:TOOSOON for an encyclopedia article. --Animalparty! (talk) 23:29, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, Animalparty summarises the situation well. Richard Nevell (talk) 07:15, 16 September 2021 (UTC)


 * As the subject, I wouldn't mind the page coming down. All I'd note is that the original version of this page linked to three external sources, not one: Amol Rajan, David Allen Green, and Iain Dale.
 * Delete. Not enough significant RS to prove notability. Fails WP:BASIC and WP:JOURNALIST.4meter4 (talk) 18:37, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
