Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Locke
Per  Needs mention in mainstream media, interviews with other bloggers is not enough.  requires especially careful requirements for  than other subjects. However, given this individual's authorship of multiple articles in mainstream publication, notability could well be established and  on first appearances is inappropriate here.  Article should not be deleted simply because it contains promotional materials in its current form. Wikipedia's criterion is objectively |verifiable |notability, not subjective intentions. This individual may well be a notable professional promoter.  The fact that marketing and promotion is his business is irrelevant. We can certainly tone down the article to make more POV|neutral and less self-promoting, remove improper links, and deal with anyone who repeatedly attempts to remove critical material or adds puffery, but these are not reasons for deletion
