Appears to fail WP:BIO. The problem here is that while the name is certainly out there, it's all bylines and such, and not anything substantial about the subject rather than by the subject. And when I Google the name, the first ghit I get is an unrelated podiatrist. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:34, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I have been unable to identify any sources or factors that demonstrate that this topic falls squarely within the inclusion guidelines. However, as noted at the previous AfD (I will be notifying the previous participants of this nomination), coverage of journalists is notoriously light. Worse such coverage is particularly difficult to find given the prevalence of search hits using the journalist's name—the more prolific the journalist, the more bylines (and bylines don't always conveniently take easily excluded forms such as "by X"). A Google books search for "Michael Theodoulou" will demonstrate that his articles have been cited reasonably often in serious works by independent authors, and he has been interviewed as an expert on at least one occasion (I suspect many more).

For the record, I have attempted to find any awards or honors received by the subject, and have been unable to do so. ^Bongo_matic 00:31, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
