Timothy Ryan (newspaper publisher)

Fails to meet WP:BIO. Being the executive/publisher of The Baltimore Sun seems kind of notable, but there's no significant RS coverage to prove Ryan's notability. I already had to remove a BLP vio (slanted quote that was unsourced) from the article, too. Jamie  S93  21:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * ' Weak Keep Keep being the head of a major publication is intrinsically notable. Journalists tend to cover each other, so there's a problem in sourcing.    DGG' ( talk ) 23:16, 27 October 2009 (UTC) -- changed to Keep on the basis of Eastmain's comment.
 * Keep. I added some references. The references that were already present in the article, but not available online, were from Editor & Publisher and Associated Press, both of which are reliable sources. -- Eastmain (talk) 02:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
