James Crabtree
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NPROF. No credible citations/h-index or no fellowship. Being a journalist, you do get quoted often but the entity clearly lacks WP:SIGCOV. He does qualify for WP:TOOSOON. Hence, calling for an AfD discussion. - Hatchens (talk) 16:04, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * comment this clearly wont pass WP:NPROF but I am more optimistic about WP:NAUTHOR. He has published a widely discussed book that has been discussed in many major outlets, shortlisted for a major award etc. --hroest 21:35, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Both this and the book's page appear to have been created by SPAs but WP:NAUTHOR would appear to apply. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:17, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Let's ignore the WP:SPA-thing for a moment. Getting a coverage at Financial Times- "2018 Business Book of the Year Award" is highly absurd because he had been a former bureau chief of the same newspaper. Ok let's ignore the FT Awards... except his book and interviews... there is no such information exist about him as a "person". This clearly shows that the entity lacks independent significant coverage... It's not what he said or wrote. It's about who he is. If not AfD, the page should/must be draftified. [This opinion should be considered as an extended part of my nomination statement]. -Hatchens (talk) 13:07, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Agree with the draftify option outlined by Hatchens. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:22, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: At best, WP:TOOSOON. There is no WP:SIGCOV of him as a journalist - the bulk of the citations are just his professional resume, i.e. his work as a journalist. Above that, there are a few book reviews, but insufficient for WP:NAUTHOR. M00thu2 (talk) 01:18,21 April 2021 (UTC)
