Deletion of Dick Gordon (sports writer)

Comment: There's enough here to satisfy  in my opinion.  He appears to have been one of the pre-eminent sports writers in the US from the late 1940s through the 1970s.  He is not a small-town or minor sports writer. ''The Sporting News'' published 246 of his works from 1947 to 1976.  His work was regularly featured in ''Baseball Digest'', the oldest, continuously publishing baseball magazine in the US, and he was also a correspondent for ''Sports Illustrated'' (the most prominent sports publication in the US) from its earliest days in the mid-1950s.  His importance dates all the way back to 1930 when he broke the story of Bobby Jones (golfer)|Bobby Jones' retirement and thus earned the nickname "Scoop."  When he died in 2008, his life achievements were covered (at a minimum) in the Minneapolis newspaper, Sports Illustrated and the Princeton Alumni News

Comment: The http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dick_Gordon_%28sports_writer%29&diff=cur&oldid=439944478 difference between http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dick_Gordon_%28sports_writer%29&oldid=439944478 where we started and Dick Gordon (sports writer)|where we are is significant. I'd invite those who have previously looked at the page to re-browse the content and check sources. While originally created by an interested party as a , this subject now has the sources and the notability to remain in an encyclopedia, thanks to assistance with page rescue by the pagecreator and generous help from a user with whom I disagreed in another sports-related deletion process. In explaining why I held my beliefs, I found a kindred spirit in the editor with whom I disagreed. That's why I love this place; the two of us disagree on the merits, but we agree 100% on being and acting like Wikipedians. I'll continue to build and source the page as it evolves. And if it turns out that nice editor prevails in his assertion to keep there, I'll follow the page the editor defended as well
