Redirect given but not necessarily the most noteworthy aspect of person's life, for individual who is a WP:BLP but not yet established if the individual fails WP:NOTE. -- Cirt (talk) 21:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Sorry if I did something wrong. Mr. Whelan was the editor of the Washington Times and, IMO, would certainly pass WP's notability test for that. There is plenty of coverage of him in reliable sources. Right now he doesn't have his own article. I was wikilinking him from another article and it created a red link, so I created a redirect to the Washington Times article where he is listed as one of the editors. It really would be better to write an article on him, which I think Cirt would agree with also. That would remove the redirect. Kitfoxxe (talk) 21:27, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * "Was" editor? So you redirected a link about a WP:BLP to go to an organization where he is no longer even employed??? -- Cirt (talk) 21:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. I didn't consider that that might be a problem for him. Still, as far as I know, that is the only article that gives any information on him. Kitfoxxe (talk) 21:46, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It gives a false implication that the WP:BLP is still working there and employed by that organization. Yet another reason it should be deleted. -- Cirt (talk) 21:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I agree with the delete, since BLP policy is just about number one here -- which I agree with. Kitfoxxe (talk) 21:50, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you. -- Cirt (talk) 21:51, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
