  • Delete. No notable journalist. Can find independent, reliable source that talk about him. Sources are all his own interview/work. Fails WP:JOURNALIST and WP:ANYBIO. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:01, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Does not meet GNG. No evidence of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Cowlibob (talk) 10:57, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Since I've now significantly edited this article, I'll have to now become neutral. Cowlibob (talk) 22:30, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree. Tom Harwood is indeed a notable journalist. He has been a regular appearance on TV and radio since the 2016 Brexit referendum, including Politics Live[1] and Question Time.[2] Whilst a student at Durham he was receiving coverage - a whole article in Conservative Home.[3]

It would be a mistake to delete this article as a new one will be made by another editor in a short while. All the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NS MediaMole (talk • contribs) 11:53, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, reluctantly While Tom Harwood has, to put it mildly as possible, reprehensible views that I find offensive, such as having a swing at Greta Thunberg (although to be fair my judgement may be clouded by the Daily Express frequently quoting him as the best thing to happen in youth politics ever), he has been covered in more places than the Express, including Question Time. One way that Wikipedia can shine is that our Neutral Point of View policies allows readers to learn who these people are outside of the right wing media that fawns over them.

  • Keep I couldn't agree more with the user Ritchie333. Though I detest Tom Harwood's views, I made this article as I feel that it is important for others to be able to see them clearly. Like it or not, Tom Harwood is a prominent Brexit commentator. It is only in keeping with Wikipedia's neutrality that we include his article on this site.

Relisting comment: A little unclear with changing !votes and whether all !votes actually consider the presence of reliable sources about the individual, but I believe it is balanced enough to warrant a 2nd relist

  • Keep Harwood has been getting Brexit-related WP:SIGCOV since 2016, and it is ongoing. Yesterday there as this: "The irony of that was not lost on pro-Brexit commentator Tom Harwood, who tweeted: “The anti-comic sans brigade is one 48% I can confirm I am a part of.”" a back-and-forth on twitter that got real press coverage [1], [2]. Strandvue (talk) 18:32, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 23:11, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
