Keep This is an interesting, well-sourced article as far as I can see. If someone can improve it, great, but I see no reason for deletion--Hazooyi (talk) 08:55, 15 February 2024 (UTC).[reply]

The reason for deletion is that none of the sources are independent significant coverage... Cites 1 and 2 are just his own works, 3 is a short employee bio, 4 literally doesn't mention him, 5 is an interview about the piece (not biographical or independent), 6 is about the work, not him. I see you're new here so please review WP:GNG. Reywas92^Talk 14:55, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Source ~~4 is fine~~, 6 to a lesser extent. I was hoping to find book reviews about "Speaking American"; there's an earlier book with many reviews, none for this person's book. There's also a foodie/chef in the UK with the same name that pops up. I just don't think we have enough for BLP or AUTHOR. Oaktree b (talk) 16:11, 15 February 2024 (UTC) : Source 4 is a RS, but not about this person. Even less of a chance at notability now. Oaktree b (talk) 16:13, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Upshot as an alternative to deletion per @Oaktree b and nom's source analysis and my own search turning up no sources. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:40, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can find articles about his set of maps that went viral, but nothing about him in independent sources. Since he works for the NY Times, those sources, while they could provide some facts, don't count toward GNG. Lamona (talk) 05:41, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
