• Delete Article is an autobiographical WP:PROMO piece. Subject appears to fail WP:NJOURNALIST. Silver medal prize is unsourced and I have been unable to verify it's standing, but at the moment it does not appear to meet the major award criteria. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:15, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep Independent sources for WP:AUTHOR include Publishers Weekly, Transnational Perspectives, Common Knowledge (journal). The autobio CV can be cleaned up. There are a lot of claims in the article that seem significant enough to meet other criteria in WP:NJOURNALIST but there is no independent verification of the claims is the problem. Whoever wrote the article is confused, we need sources about Jonathan Power, not by Jonathan Power. -- GreenC 01:11, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• It currently reads Jonathan received a Silver Medal at the Venice Film Festival, 1972, for the BBC documentary film,"It's Ours Whatever They Say". The award is called the Silver Lion and he isn't listed as winning it that year. 33rd_Venice_International_Film_Festival I search their official website also at http://www.labiennale.org/en/ using Google and his name isn't there anywhere.

• It says he created The Diplomatic Style of Andrew Young. I couldn't find mention of that film on the official websites for the BBC or PBS, but I found it listed elsewhere [1] saying only that Jenny Barraclough was the director, it listed in her article already. Did he write it? It isn't listed at IMDb on Amazon.com. So anyone know if he wrote it or had anything to do with it at all? Dream Focus 10:08, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for inadequate verification of notability. Most citations are to works by him. One cite is to a letter to the editor about a piece he wrote. He is a writer and journalist. What! No awards?? What about the film award? no substantiation. --Bejnar (talk) 00:14, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
