Is this columnist notable? I think not. He will obviously be in papers etc, but I doubt coverage warrants notability. Computerjoe 's talk 12:01, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn. Computerjoe 's talk 21:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

*:Delete - the only assertion of notability is that "he is read by political analysts nationwide", to which the author cites the subject's own webpage. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 12:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Vote changed to strong keep - Richard David Ramsey, aka Rammer, has added many reliable sources to the article. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 18:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

The article needs to stay. A dozen or so other articles already link to it. John Maginnis is the go-to guy for commentary on Louisiana's political potpouri. Rammer (talk) 18:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

The AfD is still on the article. Will someone kindly remove the AfD? Rammer (talk) 03:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
