WP:BLP of a travel writer and blogger, whose only evident claim of notability for either endeavour is that he exists. A writer is not automatically entitled to a standalone article just because his writing got into notable publications -- a person has to be the subject of reliable source coverage about him, not the bylined author of reliable source coverage of other things, to earn an article. But the only two sources here are primary ones, not media coverage about him, so they don't assist in building a case for WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 15:56, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Simply Google query yields no notable results.NikolaiHo^☎️ 04:31, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete references are way below the level of notability. They are basically connected references. The announcement from a panel show of its participants is not an indepdent source.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:54, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article has been significantly improved with independent sources and notability of subject demonstrated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sleepy Sentry (talk • contribs) 15:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability not established: most sources seem to be blogs, minor websites, or social media. He merely "participated" in a small NY Times sponsored panel and in writing the travel guides: there's no WP:RS coverage *of* him. - GretLomborg (talk) 03:14, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
