Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Rivers Pitt (2nd nomination)
The guy was Kucinich's press secretary during the 2004 US presidential campaign, he co-wrote a book with Scott Ritter which was http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2003/jan/25/iraq.politics reviewed by the Guardian, and he was managing editor of one of the bigger US progressive websites; that's more than run-of-the-mill.  His recent activities seem less notable, but |notability is not temporary.  Failing  isn't sufficient justification to delete because his notability (such as it is) doesn't stem from his writing alone.  Also, the article has survived two previous deletion attempts and I see nothing substantially new in this nomination.  The article could certainly stand to be improved, though
