Howard Kotton

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Declined speedy as "may be notable". There sure isn't any assertion of it here. Journalist for a redlinked company would show a distinct *lack* of notability. Just being a journalist is not an assertion of notability. DarkAudit (talk) 13:39, 18 March 2009 (UTC) 
 * Comment I'd probably say delete, too. I just wanted to note, though, that one of the publications he writes for, AFL Record, is not a redlink (although I don't think that makes him notable...there are crappy school newspapers that aren't redlinks, and that doesn't mean the 14-year-olds writing them should get articles).  Also, the article used to have a lot more information (for example, in this version), although still no references. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 13:58, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, Inside Football is a reasonably high-profile football publication in Australia (I'm surprised it's a redlink, to be honest), but just writing for it is no guarantee of notability. There's a fair bit of coverage out there by Kotton, but there doesn't seem to be that much out there about Kotton, which is what we need for notability.  Willing to be corrected on this point though.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 02:58, 21 March 2009 (UTC).
