Peter Barton (journalist)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A non-notable journalist for a barely notable magazine, who has written two non-notable books. No coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Possible autobiography. A ecis Brievenbus 16:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Certainly no autobiography, it's a direct translation of nl:Peter Barton (auteur). Ravage is definately not non-notable, it is a highly reccommended magazine in the Dutch left-winged scene, probably the biggest there's ever been. Read nl:Ravage. Against deletion.

 * Delete. Agreed, this guy's notability is about as non-existant as David Hasslehoff's humility, and likewise his relevance is null. Alloranleon (talk) 17:07, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete lack of notability. Does not appear to be an autobiography though but a translation of a Dutch Wiki article, which was mainly added for reasons of disambig (ie the author is not even truly notable inside the Netherlands, let alone internationally).

 * Wouldn't say tha too quick, Enkeltje Veenhuizen caused the Wissel prison in Veenhuizen to close down becouse of lack of security. Pee-Tor (talk) 17:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 1. As far as I can tell, prison De Wissel is still open and in use. 2. Barton's stay there received little to no coverage in reliable sources, only a few mentions in far left underground incrowd media. 3. Could you provide some data on for instance sales figures of Enkeltje Veenhuizen? A  ecis Brievenbus 17:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 1. De Wissel is now an isolation quarter for Groot Bankebosch, after being completely reorganised. It isn't the half-open detention center for shortly punished which it used to be. 2. It's just what you call 'reliable sources'. I find Ravage higly reliable. Also, De Internetjournalist, Nieuws uit Amsterdam and GeenStijl are not really left underground incrowd media. 3. No, I can't, I don't work for the publisher and my last name isn't Barton. Pee-Tor (talk) 23:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
