Farhad Manjoo[edit]

This BLP does not seem notable. The source for the guy being a "regular contributor" to NPR only has him appearing once. Unsure about this one, so I am bringing it to the community to decide. — Jake Wartenberg 23:17, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per my prod. I don't believe that we generally have articles on magazine staffers unless they notable for some other reason, and a google search for Farhad Majoo does not reveal major anything besides what has already been placed in the article, which I do not see as enough for inclusion as a stand-alone BLP. Perhaps his novel, True enough: learning to live in a post-fact society is notable for inclusion though; in which case an article with half the sources from this article could be created.Instead of being deleted, the article would just be moved to a new title, I suppose.NW (Talk) 23:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Evidently notable author and commentator. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems to just meet the notability guidelines through discussion in Salon, NPR, etc; and there's really no pressing BLP issues as its well cited. Them From Space 06:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Snowball Keep can see why this was nominated but following improvements to article notability is well established. FeydHuxtable (talk) 17:23, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
