 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not appear to be notable. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:10, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. He has been writing on Irish golf since 1993, has written two books, and is widely quoted by other media outlets. I added a few sources; the page just needs more citations. Yoninah (talk) 10:34, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep, but add more sources! RomeEonBmbo (talk) 01:37, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per the two comments below. RomeEonBmbo (talk) 13:29, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I removed some of the duplicate links leading to the same article. He is just a sports writer that has written golf articles and a couple of books. It doesn't make him notable. If it did we would have an article for every sports/cookery/DIY journalist. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:42, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete irrelevant person. Alex discussion ★ 12:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep on the basis of the NY Times bio.  DGG ( talk ) 03:34, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It is not a New York Times 'bio'. It just a few notes about one of their correspondents. They have a page like that for everyone who writes for them. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep The NYT clearly considers him a notable golf writer. The correspondent bio was on the occasion of their inviting Reid to be one of just four international golf journalists discussing the Ryder Cup for the IHT.   Sharktopus  talk  01:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Additionally he is cited by Associated Press and Irish Emigrant. Meets notability criteria at WP:AUTHOR since he "is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." Norespectasip (talk) 04:56, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
