Declined AfD, but I see no credible claim of notability: just a journalist doing his job. TheLongTone (talk) 18:45, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

As I said on its Talkpage, I tried finding what the minimum notability needed for editors-in-chief of big magazine was and couldn't find really a guideline. I was working on a related article and thought it was pretty strange that the top position holder of a magazine did not have an article, being as how he served for 6 years in this position, was a judge on a few world-wide film competitions and got famous directors such as Steven Spielberg to guest-edit. Previous editors-in-cheif of the same magazine have an article, and other magazine's have articles for their top ranking holders. Having said that, as I don't know enough about notability of people in this position, I'm not going to argue a position either way. Edit: noticed he was by named editor of the year (2008 and 2009) by the British Society of Magazine Editors--Gonnym (talk) 19:15, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete: due to WP:GNG. Nothing with which he is most closely affiliated, including the magazine he edits, is particularly notable. Quis separabit?  02:54, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
