WP:NOTABILITY; Article (posted by a strong WP:COI) sourced only to writer's own work, a couple blogposts reframing her blogposts, and a passing mention. Gnews didn't reveal anything further of significance. Ghits are quickly a string of self-generated media and her name on things she wrote. Nat Gertler (talk) 17:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable following Nat Gertler's nomination. In response to the proposed deletion, the author included additional sources that continue to reference the subject in a trivial, blog-like fashion, and the majority of the material remains otherwise self-published.

While I made a few mistakes in first creating this page, I believe that my work warrants mention on wikipedia as a hyperlocal journalist and entrepreneur who has written for both local and national publications on the topics of music, politics, art and culture and aims to bring the industry into a new era by creating the entrepreneurial digital journalism of the future. I am happy to comply with all Wikipedia standards, I'm just new to this arena and hope that you'll forgive my earlier mistakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Misfitmedia (talk • contribs) 17:33, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Everybody makes mistakes, and they can be fixed -- the only issue at hand is whether the subject of the article is notable according to Wikipedia's definition or not. In this case, the relevant guideline is this one. --bonadea contributions talk 13:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

My articles are cited on Wikipedia pages and I am a known columnist whose independent journalism has been cited by the New York Times, WNYC and The Brooklyn Paper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Misfitmedia (talk • contribs) 20:10, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Cites on Wikipedia pages are irrelevant; they cannot establish notability as Wikipedia is not a reliable source. And being cited by newspapers doesn't confer notability either; if the newspapers have written about you, that would confer notability. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:17, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
