Delete the conceivable notability is the connection with Mythbusters. But hat organizations own page says only "(From 2005 through 2013, Matt Sheffield provided leading editorial and technical services for NewsBusters." [1]. DGG ( talk ) 01:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Newsbusters. Subject has been mention in some reliable sources, but none that appear to give in-depth or significant coverage to the individual who is the subject of the article in question of this AfD. Most mentions have been the individuals connection to Newsbusters:

Eric Deggans (30 October 2012). Race-Baiter: How the Media Wields Dangerous Words to Divide a Nation. St. Martin's Press. p. 61. ISBN 978-0-230-34182-1.

Antoinette Pole (12 February 2010). Blogging the Political: Politics and Participation in a Networked Society. Routledge. p. 120. ISBN 978-1-135-23725-7.

This reliable source gives in-depth coverage to one of Sheffield's works regarding the Dan Rather Killian documents controversy. But it is more about one thing the subject had worked on and not the subject in question. It is also given passing mention here:

Kerric Harvey (20 December 2013). Encyclopedia of Social Media and Politics. SAGE Publications. pp. 45–. ISBN 978-1-4522-9026-3.

Therefore, I am presently of the opinion that the article should be redirected to a notable work by him at this time.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:30, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see sufficient evidence of notability in the article or web searches. Not sure it's even worth a redirect to Newsbusters, which is itself a redirect to a brief paragraph in another article. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 16:03, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
