Jay Rosen

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

A prod notice was added to article by 71.9.8.150, and removed with the reason "no justification given". PROD was added again, this time with a better explanation, which I removed as PROD had already been contested. The IP had now added an AFD template but was not able to complete the nomination, so I have completed it to allow a consensus to be reached. The justification given was "fails notability tests for academics, per Talk page" with a longer explanation on the talk page. This is a procedural nomination, and my opinion is to keep the article as sources suggest he is influential and has been the subject of some coverage in reliable sources. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 00:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, influential and easily better sourced. Often called the "father", "guru", "midwife", etc. of public/participatory journalism. NYT semi-review/response, first journalist asked by CBS to participate in its Public Eye feature, extensive profile via Google Books are just a sampling. --Dhartung | Talk 05:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep In addition to Dhartung's comments, a quick GoogleNews search for "jay rosen" professor journalism gives 492 hits. Here are some quotes from this search regarding Rosen: "Now comes Jay Rosen, the philosopher king of the public journalism" (Denver Post), "journalism Prof. Jay Rosen of New York University, the leading theoretician of public journalism" (Star Tribune), "Jay Rosen is a New York University journalism professor who is the intellectual father of ``public journalism." (Charlotte Observer ), ""Just what is "public journalism?" You can get any number of definitions, ... One of the movement's gurus, Professor Jay Rosen of New York University, wrote:..." (Greensboro News and Record ), "One of the principal theorists on the issue is Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at New York University and director of the Project on Public Life" (Miami Herald), "Jay Rosen, the New York University journalism professor who founded the "public journalism" movement" (Boston Globe). And so on, many more like this. Clearly satisfies WP:PROF as an academic who is frequently quoted in the media as an expert on issues of public journalism. Also satisfies WP:BIO as a notable media critic. Nsk92 (talk) 10:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
