I saw the tag on the front... Advertisement of what? -- 01:05, 15 August 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.216.211 (talk)

This article had previously been deleted for Notability. I believe this now meets WP:N with these significant rewrites and the incredible amount of verifiable press this author has received in the intervening years. Whillice (talk) 15:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to contact the editor who placed the tag in the first place to discuss and had no reply. I do not believe this tag is correct. Surely this article can be improved, but as anonymous user pointed out, what exactly is this supposed to be advertising?

I'd like to gather people's comments then call for a vote over the weekend.

And now there is an extra tag for notability. I think that due to the DOZENS of independent media sources that this qualifies as notable. I also ask for discussion of whether this tag fits or not. Whillice (talk) 05:39, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BASIC A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published[3] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[4] and independent of the subject.[5]

This article has 16 independent sources, several of which refer to awards or accolades won by Mr. Young. Furthermore, his work on This Divided State is important, and that has existed as an article, indeed this article has previously redirected to there. Does anyone disagree with this logic?

Seeing no disagreement with this logic and this having sat here several months, I'm removing the flag. Whillice (talk) 00:00, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
