Deletion of Jim Lobe

Comment: Why would an article on Jim Lobe be considered not notable, when probably more than a thousand biographical wikipedia articles exist on far less notable figures? He has for thirty years been Washington DC bureau head of a highly respected international news agency. Perhaps hundreds of his articles have had very significant coverage, and been read and republished all over the internet for well over a decade. He's got archives of articles on several popular news sites, including Lew Rockwell, Alternet, and Common Dreams. He's been interviewed more than once by global television channels for his expertise. He has a successful blog-site that is linked into by several hundred other web sites,  and is followed on social media by thousands of people. I think this clearly means that a wikipedia article on Jim Lobe would meet notability guidelines
