Subject does not meet criteria for notability under WP:JOURNALIST, WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Most of the sources referenced on this article are WP:PRIMARY - (see penultimate version that was trimmed – ). At most, they have received coverage over a single event. Analysis of sources: Bangkok Post (2015) (valid); Prachatai (2015) (primary source); Khaosod (2017) (primary source); Human Rights Watch (2017) (advocacy piece that makes demands). — Nearly Headless Nick   {c}  06:54, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. High-profile journalist whose activism (along with the silencing attempts against him) has been subject of WP:SUSTAINED coverage beyond WP:1E. Recipient of the CPJ International Press Freedom Award. In-depth profile in the Columbia Journalism Review. News coverage ranging from 2015 (AFP, BBC) to 2016 (ABC (Australia)) to 2017 (Bangkok Post, AFP, AP). The condemnations of government actions against him by the Committee to Protect Journalists, International Federation of Journalists and PEN America, in addition to Human Rights Watch linked above, together contribute to the subject's notability. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:05, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for your comment and bringing new references to light, User:Paul_012. The fact that he won a prestigious award such as CPJ International Press Freedom Award certainly weighs heavily in favour of notability (something I had missed earlier whilst analyzing the BLP). In light of the production of above sources and facts, I would like to withdraw this nomination for deletion. — Nearly Headless Nick   {c}  10:22, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
