Jeremy Douglas

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not sure if he passes GNG. He writes news articles, he isn't the subject of them. As a UN Drugs and Crime representative for a certain region, he is supposed to publicise the war on drugs. His post isn't something that directly qualifies him either, he's the regional representative for a unit of UN. Daiyusha (talk) 06:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Douglas is certainly noteworthy and passes under GNG as, in addition to his well known work and active commentary in major governance, policy and security discussions within the international media landscape (and specifically the Asia Pacific), he has featured in several related investigative films (will be cited shortly) and is actively referenced as an authority on major international events in this space by fellow experts and policy makers. Additionally, several individuals holding similar positions within UNODC, other UN agencies and other international organizations outside of the UN have pages created. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crimefighter123 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. People are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they have jobs — we're an encyclopedia, not a LinkedIn clone — but this article is not referenced properly for the purposes of establishing his notability. People do not qualify for Wikipedia articles by being the author of media content about other things, or by being quoted as a giver of soundbite in media content about other things — they get into Wikipedia by being the subject of media coverage created and published by other people. None of the footnotes here meet the necessary standard. Bearcat (talk) 17:02, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per Bearcat's well reasoned argument.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:08, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
