  • Comment I didn't mean it that way, I meant, were we to have this debate about someone of a similar level of importance today, I don't think there would be as much debate as to their notability - disagree? Would we have an article for every publisher of several magazines who is not covered by reliable sources (or at least I can't find any, on Google)? --Michael WhiteT·C 21:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
