Article is unreferenced except for the citation of his book. I am unable to find multiple independent sources with significant discussion of the individual. ... disco spinster   talk  14:05, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

 * I found https://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/the-hunger-artist-6332189 as at least one journalistic source. Male anorexia is a rare phenomenon, and few autobiographies of it exists as far as I have ever found. I would argue that this makes this biography entry on Wikipedia notable, and more journalistic sources should be sought out rather than deleting the article merely due to a lack of sources. I found at least one discussion of a TV segment on WSVN Channel 7 News Miami "Men Dying To Be Thin" (1997) about Mr. Krasnow. Perhaps a recording of it exists somewhere that someone with more archival access than I would be able to find. os (talk) 16:44, 11 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep: Sufficient print coverage exists (indeed I looked up the article some years back after personally reading it). Google Books turns up a dedicated section in Anorexia and Bulimia (2009) by Elizabeth Silverthorne and in Eating Disorders (1999) by Myra Immell. Newspapers.com turns up in-depth coverage in The Observer (9 March 1996, page 2) and The Boston Globe (26 May 1988, page 79). Vaticidalprophet 17:48, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: the sources above are independent and in-depth, addressing the nominator's concern. — Bilorv ( talk ) 22:19, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
