- Patrick Howley (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Non-notable journalist. The current version of the article contains only two non-primary references, but the one is just one sentence-namechecking: "As a New York city resident, I took particular interest in Patrick Howley’s story on Indian Point, which is the kind of story I’d like to see more of.)" and the other is a brief note in one of those blogs with more ads than words. The most in-depth discussion of the man and his work is found on the opposite of the spectrum, like this and this, which are all about some...eh...tweets that the subject made a while ago. These things aren't found in our article. Maybe this interview counts for something, but I do not see how the subject passes the GNG, and a bit of yelling back and forth on the blogs on either side don't really add up to significant, in-depth coverage in reliable sources. In my opinion. Drmies (talk) 20:24, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

- Keep, as shown in the nomination for deletion, the subject of this AfD has been the subject of non-primary significant coverage, including this event, and subject to such ridicule pieces as this and this. Although not flattering, they are significant coverage of the subject of the coverage. Therefore the subject appears to pass WP:GNG.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:20, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. This is a generally non-notable journalist. As the previous comments have shown, there is some coverage of Patrick Howley. However, most of the coverage consists of opinion pieces, in effect saying "this guy stinks". I don't think of this as coverage by newspapers/magazines/whatever with a reputation for fact checking. Unless more factual articles can be found, the article should be deleted. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 22:07, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
- Two of teh sources I provided were to a news blog of the Washington Post, and to The Week, both of which are reliable sources. This should be sufficient to pass WP:GNG.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:30, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep: sufficient notability established. Quis separabit? 00:27, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
