Mike Bivins

PROD-ed because I do not see the article's subject meeting WP:JOURNALIST. Page author contested PROD by stating Bivins met WP:GNG for significant coverage in reliable sources but to me the coverage in most sources seems trivial (merely mentioning he was there and filming video for Periscope streaming).

Keep, but perhaps Bivins' entry should be reorganized to mention that he is notable for his protest coverage, and has been sought out for his opinions on protests, as seen in this video where he is interviewed by the news about his footage that showed a blogger pulling a gun on black lives matter protesters.

Did you read the The Inlander (newspaper) article about Bivins? Inlander does 50,000+ copies, and they went into detail about his work, inspirations, and other things. To me, trivial is a box score, or a one word mention of a person. This is not the case with him. Here is another article about Bivins. I'm going to update the article. Mercury does 45,000 copies by the way. Another news channel had Bivins call into their live show to be interviewed about another experience reporting on protests at Portland's city hall.

Wikipedia requires significant coverage. I'm not at all sure two articles in local newspapers meet that requirement. Kleuske (talk) 22:09, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Post is not a local paper. Neither is the Inlander. Those are a long way from Oregon. Pittsburghangelsforever (talk) 22:13, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
