The result was keep. Consensus that there is sufficient independent sourcing, as distinct from pure interview pieces, to provide notability (non-admin closure) Nosebagbear (talk) 10:49, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I read the bio and googled his name, but could not find any reason as to why this man is worthy of a Wikipedia page. I could not find out anything about him such as his nationality or age, and his academic title appears to be PhD, which is not that impressive. :) ImTheIP (talk) 15:24, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Notable author and speaker. He is interviewed alot, which makes finding sources on him (as opposed to quoting him) is difficult, however they do exist - [1][2][3] and it is seems he is also re-quoted and analyzed - e.g. [4]. Icewhiz (talk) 17:01, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• WP:HEY, keep. I did a little expand, source. Lots more still to be added. Guy has been an extremely widely quoted and cited Middle East expert for years, lots of incoming links from pages where his writing is cited. He's a notable political commentator, publishing regularly in major media like Canada's National Post: [5].E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:14, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi E.M.Gregory! You certainly elongated the article, but I'm still unsure on why he needs a Wikipedia bio? On the other side of the spectrum we have Adam Horowitz (of Mondoweiss, whose Wikipedia article [6] was deleted (actually turned into a redirect). And I would say that Asaf Romirowsky is less notable than Adam Horowitz. ImTheIP (talk) 19:42, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – Romirowsky is a well-known Middle East scholar and this is backed by sources. There is an assertion of notability and the sources presented make the article pass GNG. Don't see a reason to delete. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 21:20, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
