Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Josh Beames
duffbeerforme, I think you are a good editor but none of your "Independence" or "significant coverage" columns here have much credibility, really. It really feels like a  argument to refute the source assessment done earlier in this AfD, but you are trying to justify that argument by discrediting the sources. As I mentioned above, the sources are not New York Times quality but they are independent (and only one is local) and there's enough to meet Wikipedia standards. Just because an article is largely based on someone's quotes doesn't mean it is not independent. Your comments like "Joke by-line" and "indiscriminate local puff" really don't help your cause at all here. I agree this borderline but I think we should err on the side of caution
