Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Myles Cochrane
There should be a strong presumption against |autobiographies. If someone is notable, an independent person will eventually start an article. In addition, the article creator is misreading the notability guidelines. He claims that there is a significant collective body of work that he has created. First, I don't think the significant has been established. Second, the article creator neglects the remainder of that criterion, that the work "has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." There isn't a book, feature film, or set of independent periodical articles discussing Cochrane's interviews. That's not severable; it can't simply be ignored. I don't think the academia is the proper notability test. Although the subject is a student, his supposed notability doesn't seem to come from teaching/research. But again, he's reading out of existence important parts of the tests. It's not enough to win a national award. It has to be a "highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." The level of prestige hasn't been estalished. The organization (let alone the particular award) don't even appear to have its own wikipedia article. And even though the award is given to student broadcasters, I don't think it should fall under the academic test anyway. After all, an award given for the sports exploits of student-athlete would lead to the athlete being judge under the academic standard
