Talk:Charles Peters

Untitled

I am disputing move for the speedy deletion of this article. Charles Peters is a notable figure and the facts asserted in the article are verifiable from numerous sources. Peters is a renowned journalist, editor, and author who founded a major American political magazine, The Washington Monthly. He is the author of five books including seminal titles such as How Washington Really Works and more recently a critically-acclaimed biography of Lyndon Johnson.

Wikipedia requires that the subject of an article such as this one should have "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

Further, Wikipedia states that there must be "verifiable objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention to support a claim of notability."

Charles Peters has been reported on and written about by numerous American periodicals over the last generation, from the Washington Post (in fact there are probably a dozen articles in the Washington Post along these lines between 1990 and 2010) to numerous journalism magazines. As the entry itself makes clear, Peters has received numerous awards from well-known educational institutions, journalism organizations, and other prestigious institutions. His career is celebrated in Washington as is the magazine he founded.

I, and I am sure others who are familiar with Peters' work, are ready to improve this article's sourcing and footnotes, but to mark it for speedy removal would be capricious and unfair. I wrote the article in good faith and with strong knowledge of my subject. Please let me know what specific objections you have to the article and I and others will have an opportunity to correct any problems.

I may be mistaken, but after checking the edit history of the article, I don't find any record of this article being submitted for speedy deletion, or any other kind of deletion. If it were, I would certainly object - the founder of The Washington Monthly is certainly notable. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:52, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for this response -- I got an e-mail indicating that it was set for removal but only saw later that the tag may have been removed before I wrote my (very concerned) response. I would appreciate any other comments you may have about the entry so I can improve it. Heddek (talk) 12:44, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
