Autobiography of a journalist. No independent sources. Google shows articles written by him but I cannot find any independent sources about him. Reads like a CV. noq (talk) 18:00, 28 May 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak delete I have a feeling there are sources out there, but I can't find them. He does report for major publications, but that doesn't necessarily make him notable The article (sourced only to his website) gives a long list of the people he has interviewed, but that doesn't do anything to make HIM notable. (Recall the recent series of pipsqueaks who claimed notability because they had once interviewed Noam Chomsky.) The article claims he has BEEN interviewed by NPR and BBC; those interviews could establish him as notable but I can't find them. So I am going with delete but could change my mind if presented with evidence of notability. --MelanieN (talk) 01:15, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
