The result was keep. The nomination must be considered withdrawn, after Joseph changed his vote to "keep". The only delete vote's rationale is "per nominator" but the nominator changed his mind. (non-admin closure) Kraxler (talk) 18:07, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Being science editor of the Daily Mail doesn't imply notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NJOURNALIST. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:53, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - this at the Guardian says he's the author of five popular science books - could he pass WP:AUTHOR? I noticed you also flagged one of his books for deletion.... —Мандичка^YO 😜 18:15, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  Wikimandia is correct, Hanlon easily passes WP:AUTHOR.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nomination. Not notable. Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 21:38, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Added some sources. Animus here may stem from the fact that the creator of the article is a sockpuppet - and there are few species Wikipedians hate more than sockpuppets. However, This is a notable journalist, editor, author and now - entrepreneur.[1]. User:Joseph2302, the page was void of sources when you found it, but you may want to take a second look. E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:32, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Change to Keep. On closer inspection, he does seem to pass WP:NAUTHOR. Also, he seems to be involved with Jurassica which has quite a bit of coverage, and if it actually gets built will probably produce lots of national coverage. Bad nomination. I would withdraw but can't, since someone else has voted delete. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:45, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
