 * Keep Google News shows he's been written up in various reliable sources for quite a number of years. Joshdboz (talk) 19:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, Speedy Close. Clearly notable, won/nominated for notable awards, easy to verify, as Joshdboz notes, lots of reliable sources. The prior AFD was unanimous keep, aside from the nominator, and identified coverage in the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and St. Louis Post-Despatch. Nominator's claims are WP:POINTY at best and deceptive at worst. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:44, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
