Mark Levine (journalist)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is on a non-notable personality. – Zntrip 01:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Mark Levine is an active journalist. He hosts a daily news interview program on a network beamed to televisions worldwide, and streamed through the internet. If you watch the show, you will see that he interviews highly credentialed guests. He also hosts a national radio show on XM satellite radio, in addition to his myriad of other journalistic work. You can watch his television show through the news channel's website. It's on a couple of times a day.
 * Further, I am saddened that Zntrip, with whom I had a disagreement with in another matter, followed my edit history and is now targetting my other articles in retaliation. As a matter of policy, Zntrip should not be rewarded for this behavior. We need to encourage cordial relations on Wikipedia, not petty Wikistalking.--Vitalmove 05:04, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * keep. Media hosts on larger networks are notable, because may people see/hear them. Mukadderat 01:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. As stated above, the position appears to give notability. I would like to see this bio expanded to reflect audiences reached, topics covered and some good sources. --Stormbay 03:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I found more information on him and posted it in the article. --Vitalmove 05:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep -Notability is claimed and cited. -- K u k i ni  hablame aqui 05:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

In light of the new information that has been added to the page, which I was previously unaware of, I withdraw this nomination. I would like to apologize to Vitalmove, as I assumed from your edits on PRESS TV and Portal talk:Current events, as well as the recent creation of your account, that you came to Wikipedia with alternate motives. I now realize that your creation of this page was indeed legitimate and the personality described in it is notable. You must understand however, that I assumed (with your past edits at Portal talk:Current events in mind) that you wrote an article about the host of your favorite television show. I made the conclusion, rather hastily, that the article was invalid. I do want you to understand that this nomination was not a personal attack or a form of revenge and that it was in the interest of improving this encyclopedia. – Zntrip 06:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
