Not notable. Does not meet WP:BASIC or WP:GNG thresholds for notability. Only one of the sources in the article might be a GNG source (see assessment table below), and I was not able to find any better sources myself. Actualcpscm^{scrutinize, talk} 14:07, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Based on the source assessment table, nothing for notability. I can't find much else. Oaktree b (talk) 15:04, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the discussion. The article now has 13 independent citations about the notability of Chang's work, including the Columbia Journalism Review, NiemanLab and Politico. I believe this shows that the subject meets the thresholds for notability. --Angshah (talk) 15:25, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to City Bureau for now based on available sources, WP:BASIC and WP:JOURNALIST, and content that could be moved from her article. The 2019 Politico Magazine source has a focus on City Bureau, with some interview and observation of her at work; the 2016 CJR source and 2019 CJR source seem similar in focus on City Bureau with brief quotes from her; I think the Nieman Reports 2018 opinion source is independent, reliable, and secondary support for her notability, but usage in the article is limited by the WP:RSOPINION guideline; the 2019 RCFP award is shared with the other City Bureau founders, and the other cited accolades do not appear to contribute much to notability. Her notable work seems more effectively presented in the context of the City Bureau article; coverage in Politico, CFR, and Nieman Reports, as well as a Rising Star award from the RCFP does not seem to sufficient to establish City Bureau as a significant or well-known work nor a collective body of work per WP:JOURNALIST#3, and independent coverage of Chang in available sources, including based on my own search, seems too limited to develop a reasonably balanced biography at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 18:56, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At bare minimum, merge into City Bureau, but my vote is for keep. I say this just having done a rewrite of the article — which can be checked out here ([1]) — and rearranged and better supported elements of the bio which could have been expressed more thoroughly from the works being cited, which was more from a general readability standpoint than a notability one. The idea that Chang isn't notable even despite the WP:GOOG-ness of it all is a little ridiculous to me. I'm not pulling a WP:CRYSTALBALL, not at all, because it's clear she already has jumped the hurdle for secondary coverage. I can understand not wanting to break out a joint accomplishment or project into an individual one, but just based on a cursory search, she's the mouthpiece of City Bureau, has been since it started, and is now the executive director. Personally, because she's a journalist of color in an executive and co-founder role for a remarkably successful nonprofit newsroom (that was the first of its kind [2]), I'm still a pretty strong keep. I'm a much stronger don't delete. ɯɐɔ 💬 04:45, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
