Keep Subject easily passes WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST Criterion 1. They're a bunch of results from a google search that pops up on GNEWS. Lapablo (talk) 13:51, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lapablo: Can you point to significant coverage of Eaton? The article is currently relying on his LinkedIn profile for its biographical information, which feels like a pretty strong indication against the GNG. Ralbegen (talk) 14:45, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ralbegen: I hope this is good enough for you take a pick, google result . Lapablo (talk) 15:11, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which of those are about Eaton? There's a lot of WP:BLP1E coverage of his interview with Roger Scruton, but nothing I can see that's about Eaton, at least nothing that would constitute substantial coverage... Ralbegen (talk) 16:03, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ralbegen: This link here has nothing to do with Roger Scruton and a few others there. Lapablo (talk) 10:44, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lapablo: WP:Interviews contribute to the GNG in the material the interviewer introduces about the subject. This interview has one paragraph introducing Eaton where we learn: he's a left-wing journalist, he quotes Marx, at the time he was deputy editor of the New Statesman, and he has a distinctive writing style. I don't think that's enough for the substantial coverage the GNG requires. Ralbegen (talk) 13:49, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
