Jeremy Wagstaff

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly sourced biographical article of questionably notable journalist. No major indication that his work has made a significant impact. Risker (talk) 07:25, 16 January 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment, slow keep. The two sources from New York and L.A Times give a depth analysis of his work Loved150 (talk) 08:14, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, actually...the L.A. Times article is a brilliant example of WP:CRYSTAL; they said he was "writing a book" on Suharto, our article says he *did* write that book, and the reality is that someone else wrote the book and he was its editor. The LA Times article is a useless reference, and the statement in our article is out-and-out false. Adding: The NY Times article is about Nigel Oakes, and only mentions Wagstaff in passing; he is not the subject of that reference source. Risker (talk) 02:05, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete passing mentions, especially when the writer cares so little as to not distinguish writing a book from editing a book, do not add up to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:56, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Passing mentions of his reporting in articles about other subjects are not enough to establish notability. --RL0919 (talk) 21:44, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
