Paul Koring

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a journalist, not properly referenced as clearing our notability standards for journalists. The only notability claim being attempted here is that he once won a journalism award -- but that's being referenced to the award's own self-published website about itself rather than any evidence of media coverage about it, which means it isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to get over WP:GNG on his sourceability. (When it comes to "notable because award", we care about awards that get media coverage, not just every award that exists.) But the only other reference here is a news article about something completely different than the award, misplaced in the external links section instead of being used as a footnote, which briefly mentions Paul Koring's name without being about him to any non-trivial degree, so it's not helping to get him over GNG either. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more and stronger sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:18, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
