Article on non-notable journalist which appears to be created by someone with a close relationship with the subject (if not the subject themselves). Article reads substantively like a CV or LinkedIn profile. There is nothing here (or that I can find as part of a reference/sources search) to indicate that the subject is any more notable than the thousands (millions?) of other journalists in the world. To extent that WP:GNG or WP:JOURNALIST is met. There is, for example, no independent coverage of the subject's work or life or otherwise. Guliolopez (talk) 12:28, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG in addition to the (relatively) obvious self-promotion. Taewangkorea (talk) 18:17, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG. Spleodrach (talk) 12:55, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Does not pass WP:GNG threshold. Also fails WP:JOURNALIST. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 20:55, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no claim nor proof of passing WP:GNG. Seems like a run of the mill journalist to me. Bearian (talk) 16:04, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
