Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James W. Walter (3rd nomination)
I guess I have to rely on the admin actually believing that this is not a vote, and a good argument beats any number of people voting in lockstep. James Walter has non-trivial articles devoted to him, and yes, his ad campaign in ''The New York Times'', ''Reuters'', ''ABC News'', and ''Der Spiegel''. These were over a month and a half, so they were independent articles, though they were about the same campaign. The ''St Petersburg Times'' article was about a completely different event, an ad campaign against the Iraq War. The CNN debate would be yet another event. These all clearly make him meet Wikipedia:Notability, and that should be sufficient to keep, per our guideline. The deletion reasons, on the other hand are just silly. "Not a single Google News hit" doesn't appear anywhere in any of our guidelines or policies as a deletion reason. There isn't a single Google News hit for Audrey Landers either,http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=%22audrey+landers%22&btnG=Search just to pick another article I mostly wrote; are we going to delete her article? The "walled garden" of "9/11 conspiracy movement" accusations are, besides being silly, untrue -- I was the main writer of this article, and you can check that in so far as I have *|an area of focus it is ''quite'' different
