Article about a journalist that was PRODed by me, deleted, recreated, speedied as G11 and re-created again in its present form. Despite claims of being involved with the Edward R. Murrow journalism program, the subject is not a Press Fellow, which would be notable in and of itself. The rest of the article is essentially a CV, and all sources I can find are self-generated or stories by the subject, not coverage of him. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 20:18, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

- Comment There seem to be two independent reliable sources cited in the article that the nom. missed, the source at the Andaman Chronicle is not by him, it indicates that he was a judge at the charity "Ad campaign contest" and that he was the editor of the newspaper Andaman Sheekha. The Echo of India newspaper article about his music is also not by him. The website for the office of the Registrar of Newspapers for India is down right now, so I can't check that. FreeRangeFrog says that he is not a Edward R. Murrow Fellow as claimed by the article, where can I find a list? --Bejnar (talk) 01:05, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Comment @Bejnar: The list of prior ERM Press fellows is here. Being associated with the lesser aspects of the secondary programs does not confer notability, nor does participating in the IVLP program, through which hundreds of people go through ever year. I'm sure all that looks good in a resume, but there is no significant coverage secondary of the subject anywhere that I can find. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 21:23, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- There is coverage of him in independent reliable sources, but I agree I don't think that the coverage is significant (as it is usually measured on Wikipedia). I suspect that this is because he is in the Andaman Islands, which is the exact opposite of mainstream. Take a look at Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Sakshi Mittal, Bishnu Pada Ray, and Kalluri Sushila. It looks as though we just don't have access to good sources from there, or equally likely that there aren't many. --Bejnar (talk) 21:48, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete Does not look very convincing at the point of notability and looks like (self) promo. The Banner talk 23:37, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
