It would be reasonable to presume that a notable person involved with a notable technology news network would have at least some significant online third-party coverage, aside from directories and so on. While the "TrustedNerd.com" website does exist and its creator is a real person, I can find no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject about either the website or the person.

Jonathan Yaniv is a very well known Canadian journalist on the west coast of Canada who has hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers @trustednerd. I don't agree with this AFD at all. 184.65.101.209 (talk)


 * Comment Subject does not seem to have any journalist credentials, nor is he affiliated with, or mentioned by, any publication other than his own blog. Twitter followers have little bearing on whether or not a person is notable by Wikipedia guidelines, and the follower history on the @trustednerd account is suspicious.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete The independent coverage required for notability has not been found. The Twitter feed reads like a string of adverts, and no basis appears to exist for attributing any credibility to these "reviews" Noyster (talk),  11:14, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I see no evidence of passing notability standards.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  14:10, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete This guy seems to be creating his own page every time it gets deleted. His social media followers seem to be purchased and the Alexa ranking on his website indicates very little traffic at all. Looks like his online presence exists largely to obtain demo products from tech companies. 206.108.31.36 (talk) 08:25, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
