This article is just a collection of quotes by this person; there's nothing here that's actually about them. There's also a lot of unsourced opinions ("believed to be", "considered by" etc). There was some involvement in the Keith Richards snorting thing, but as a BLP1E thing that's definitely about Keef not the journo. Chris (talk) 07:56, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Long established journalist writing for The Guardian, NME, Uncut and other publications, as well as a published author. However it's an absolutely terrible article, much of which can be excised. yorkshiresky (talk) 19:09, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It should be kept. It needs a lot of editing though. But hope some people are going to contribute to this article to make it a better article. bhavitgoyal (talk · contribs) 8th September 2010 3:52 IST
