Non notable journalist and potential WP:AUTOBIOG. WP:BEFORE shows lots of CNN and Al Jazeera bylines but no evidence of independent analysis or coverage. A single-purpose account has made a large number of edits over a period of 10 years. Currently no reliable sources. Awards seem to be low-key and not enough for notability.

Delete a non-notable journalist. We also have to be extra vigilant against allowing autobiographies. If we are not they will destroy the purposed of Wikipedia and turn it into what it is not meant to be.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:42, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: his reporting for AJE is notable, but he isn't really. For example, he and I have almost exactly the same number of followers on Twitter. I can't find any articles about him. Am I missing something? Bearian (talk) 03:46, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
