Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Shankbone
I'm sticking with my "keep" above: I have been notified that Prodego has changed to ''delete'' on the basis that the "first" in ''first citizen journalist'' is not verified (and the article has been changed). For posterity, I would like to record that I have no knowledge of the politics of this situation other than it is obviously problematic when an article about a Wikipedian pops up. Perhaps  should have a section specifically for well-known Wikipedians to the effect that ''extra'' off-wiki notability is required to justify an article about a user, where the article was created after the user started editing. Meanwhile, whether or not "first" is true, my feeling is that notability is sufficiently established by the articles about the subject
