The result was delete. There are some decent sources but consensus is that it's not enough for a GNG pass. However, if additional sources are located, ping me for undelete. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 19:56, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Malcolm Borg
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not appear to pass WP:GNG. During WP:BEFORE search, I found no new sources via Google that passed GNG. Some sources were mentioned in a previous AFD. This NYT article is not significant coverage of Michael A Borg, but rather significant coverage of a controversy involving Hackensack University Medical Center and a newspaper. The book Communicating When Your Company is Under Siege -is- significant coverage of Borg (7 paragraphs about his struggle with alcohol). The Columbia Journalism Review I accessed through Gale in the Wikipedia Library is significant coverage of The Record newspaper in New Jersey, not of Malcolm Borg. The Mediaweek source I accessed through EBSCO in the Wikipedia Library is significant coverage of The Record newspaper, not of Borg. With only 1 GNG passing source, I do not think this individual is notable. A possible redirect target is North Jersey Media Group. – Novem Linguae (talk) 06:27, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. I got access to this source through ProQuest: The Borg Equation. Sabik, Cathy A. Business Journal of New Jersey; Jamesburg Vol. 3, Iss. 12, (Aug 1986): 56. Although one could argue it might not be independent, I think it probably passes GNG. If somebody can find a third GNG passing source, I will withdraw my nomination. As of right now, I think we only have two GNG passing sources. – Novem Linguae  (talk) 17:56, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I think it would be interesting for someone to truly research him. I believe the family was very significant in publishing and I bet the backup is out there. This seems to be a common situation. Likely notable person not backed up by the info on the page.Miaminsurance (talk) 01:26, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
