 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Journalist who works for BBC Scotland and is an official of the National Union of Journalists. I don't see anything here to suggest he meets WP:GNG, he only gets quoted and mentioned occasioanlly in the press. Sionk (talk) 02:16, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep He is not just any old official of the National Union of Journalists, a fairly important organisation, but was president at one time, I would argue that this post is inherently notable, although I recognise the article could do with improvement.

 * Relisting comment, this was closed as keep as a NAC but I couldn't see any consensus here. Although it was listed at DRV I'm closing this as a straightforward adminsitrative action.Relisting in the hope that we get some more input. DRV often prompts a more rounded discussion.

 * I'll comment then, considering my silence seems to have been taken as agreement with the 'keep' vote. I was unaware that Murray was breifly President of the NUJ. Even so, I've recently been organising articles for General Secretaries and Presidents of British trade unions and, believe me, there are considerably fewer articles about Presidents. I tried but failed to find sufficient coverage about my own union president to write an article on her. Presidents largely perform a chair role and are generally much less in the limelight than General Secretaries. I disagree that Presidents of trade unions are inherently notable. Murray was President very recently indeed and, if there was significant press coverage about him, it would be readily available. There isn't any. Sionk (talk) 17:49, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
