Non notable media person who just thought that creating his own article on wikipedia may boost PR. He fails WP:GNG, so should be deleted. 2Joules (talk) 12:16, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. I find no substantive coverage in reliable secondary sources. At best this is a case of WP:TOOSOON; a writer for notable publications has a fair chance of eventually becoming notable in his own right; but that certainly isn't the case at the moment.

 * Delete per nom. A search for independent sources came up empty. The subject appears to be a relatively new sports writer. He does not, however, appear to write for mainstream publications and instead looks to be writing for promotional sports websites and blogs and an online magazine. No awards for the subject could be found. Also, citations for the article are mostly his own. Fails WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 09:01, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete not all journalist are notable. Currently they are one of the groups Wikipedia is plagued with articles on non-notable members of, although not nearly as bad as non-notable sportspeople and non-notable pornographic performer articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:13, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
