Terry Martin (journalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails notability. None of the sources are independent, with two being Martin's personal website, one being an interview with DW, which is non-independent as Martin is a journalist there, whereas there was previously a non-independent ref in the article that was removed by an IP (which was copied and pasted into this article, I've removed the copyvio and requested revdel), which is another profile about Martin being a speaker at a forum. Likewise, my WP:BEFORE found non-independent refs such as 1, 2 but there is insufficient non-trivial independent reliable sources to support WP:BASIC, WP:GNG, or WP:NBIO being passed.

 * Delete. The notability of a journalist is not established by his own self-published website about himself, or by a staff profile on the self-published website of his own employer — it requires third party verification of his significance in sources that don't sign his paycheque, such as notable journalism awards and/or analytical coverage about his work in other media outlets besides the one he works for.

 * Delete - not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Onel 5969  TT me 14:03, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nom. I also tried to find any sources on the person at ProQuest and was unsuccessful. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:00, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
