Proposal for deletion edit

Hi. I don't think this page has any WP merit. The fact that there are three reliable sources on the matter is neither here nor there: these sources - Freedom House, Ifex and CPJ - report on all cases of action against any journalist anyhere in the world. In fact, the information is often shared, so it is possible that it all comes from one and the same original source. I am one of their correspondents and as much as I would like to stand up for a fellow journalist, I don't see that this merits a page on WP. Anyone can go to any of the CPJ/ IFEX/ FH annual reports/ media freedom indexes, pull out a random name and then find that journalist in the other two publications. Not necessarily a definitive argument, but it is telling that the Spanish WP has nothing on Guillermo Espinosa Rodríguez or the Agencia de Prensa Libre Oriental. Very unlikely that a news agency (we are not talking about a small one-page village newspaper, but a NEWS AGENCY) would go unnoticed to thousands of contributors to the Spanish WP.

Contested deletion edit

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because the three sources prove the notability by way of WP:GNG—enough dedicated coverage to establish an article. --Binksternet (talk) 21:44, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Did you actually bother to read what I wrote about there being nothing to it being written about these three sources? Are we now going to create pages about all 300 journalists cited each year by the CPJ, FH and Ifex working for never-heard-of publications?

Also, the subject of this biography appears to have been elected or chosen as delegate to Cuba Independiente y Democratica (CID) in Santiago, Cuba. He is referenced as a notable blogger in this news item from Martí Noticias, a mainstream news source. Binksternet (talk) 21:57, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well, then fix the article, don't just oppose deletion. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 22:14, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
