Zach Everson[edit]

The PROD was removed. Hence I'm bringing this here. The subject, a free-lance journalist, blogger, and website editor, fails the inclusion criteria for both biographies in general and authors in particular. There is no evidence whatsoever of significant in-depth coverage of this person. The two "awards" are very minor and local. Despite the recently inflated "references" section, the sources are brief mentions, and/or extremely local, blog entries, search results for blog entries, or pieces written by Everson himself. The sum total of his coverage in the Wake Forest Alumni Magazine was "The wedding party included Zach Everson ('98)". Not that it has a direct bearing on whether or not it should be kept, but this has all the hallmarks of a "paid for" article. It came from the same stable (now blocked) that brought us Matthew Knowles (actor), Barbara Amaya, Tejune Kang, Ron Shimshilashvili (actor), and Alex Munoz.

Delete The article reads like a professional resume. I scanned it all the way through and couldn't find anything noteworthy. If he had started a major national blog, that would be something, but what he founded was a local-oriented sub-blog (if that's a term). As a Louisvillian, I also know local people more deserving of an article than Mr. Everson. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 15:52, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A non-notable magazine travel writer. Most of his work seems to be about Louisville, and I agree with Stevietheman's local knowledge that he does not seem that he is or every was significant even locally in that city. DGG ( talk ) 17:24, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
