Not independently notable outside of his company, lack WP:RS, fails WP:GNG, clearly corporate spam. Meeanaya ( talk) 12:19, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - unless we view the award or position as inherently notable, then nom is correct that he makes the coverage, he doesn't get it. (A recurring issue for both reporters and the actual news organisations). He's clearly an impressive journalist, but I don't believe he meets WP:BASIC.

- Delete - neither award seems substantial or prestigious enough to overcome the fundamental lack of notability and decent independent sources covering the individual in any depth. Hug syrup 13:01, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - not notable. Here come the Suns ( talk) 15:00, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - though as creator of the page I'm a bit biased, I've checked sources etc. again and agree with all above (except that it isn't corporate spam ;)). At the time I was still new (as I still feel compared to most of you) to Wiki and felt like the award, his presidency at the National Press Club and other positions might be enough to meet general notability. Hurts me to see a "deletion" in my account history, but that's life I guess :D Thank you all for weighing in!-- Ruhri Jörg 13:22, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
- I went back to the first article I wrote (way back in 2012), which was both a COI and a failure of what we'd now call NORG, and didn't last past NPP. Mine was definitely clearer cut than this one!

- @ Nosebagbear: Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it and feel encouraged! Can't help but still mess up stuff occasionally :D And people don't seem to ever read / remember this (although I'm not a complete newbie anymore, I hope ;)). Thanks again! -- Ruhri Jörg 14:00, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - the National Press Club is not so important a group that it would overcome WP:NOTINHERITED. There's not so much coverage of him. Bearian ( talk) 14:51, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
