skirts notability without ever really getting there, tagged for two years, nothing sets subject aside from other newspapermen doing what newspapermen do Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 11:41, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note, just found three sockpuppets, add to that vanispamicruftisement and COI.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 11:45, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as borderline notable BLP. Award-winning journalists for multiple large publications tend to be notable, but the article is basically only referenced with links to the subject's own work, which is clearly insufficient to meet the guidelines of WP:BIO. As to the sockpuppets and "vanispamicruftisement" (how is this a word?) I know Abraham personally, and he has neither the time nor the inclination to make sockpuppets or like. His COI edits were made out of ignorance of the policy, not malice. Steven Walling 14:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
