Article is about one incident (Chiquita) and is not biographical. Subject appears otherwise not notable Cookiehead (talk) 02:58, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sorry, WP:ONEEVENT doesn't apply here as it involves a story that opened a can of worms involving journalistic ethics, a large corporation suing to neuter a story and a major American newspaper making an unheard of apology about a story and removing those responsible. The article is well-cited and there is no cause for deletion here. Nate • (chatter) 05:51, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Retitle or Merge As both the nominator and the "keep" advocate said above, this article is not about the reporter but about the incident. If there is not already an article on it then retitle this one. An alternative is to make it a section in the main article on Chiquita. Borock (talk) 13:35, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and split. I think his biography is notable enough for a single article. Remove the BLP information and create a separate article for him. Once that is done, rename the present article to suitable name, then cleanup, wikify and link.scope_creep (talk) 20:41, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
