Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barry Popik
to Barry Popik and '''Weak keep'''. We've deleted articles of people more notable, we've kept articles of biographies less notable. (Cf. Beauty Turner.)  I'd personally draw the notability line north of this guy, but there's much more here than for others we've deemed to meet , so I'm going to invoke . Arguably meets  because of multiple citationshttp://books.google.com/books?q="Barry+Popik".  He's basically the Snopes.com of etymology.  In addition to the WSJ article, there is http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=RM&p_theme=rm&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0F314812194039C6&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM, which gives him more coverage than many biographies we have here
