Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dick Gordon (sports writer)
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
