:({{Find sources|Mark Leonard (director)}})

Article was previously deleted, Mark Leonard (writer). This is just a re-created article, substituting 'writer' for 'director', but with even less evidence than the first time. ListCheck (talk) 17:31, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

::Let us completely disregard this WP:IDONTLIKEIT type of AfD. OccultZone (Talk) 17:47, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

:::Ironically, you think the AfD should be disregarded 'just because you don't like it.' However,re-creating a deleted article, with even less substance, is a reason to re-deleting. Having a guest blog post on a significant venue won't change that. ListCheck (talk) 22:21, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

• Delete. He writes for significant publications[http://www.foreignaffairs.com/author/mark-leonard][http://www.newstatesman.com/writers/mark_leonard][http://blogs.reuters.com/mark-leonard/] (assuming they're all referring to the same guy), but nothing much is written about him, so he fails WP:GNG. Speedy delete if it has already been deleted before. Love his portrayal of Spock's father though. Clarityfiend (talk)

:::[http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/author/368171-mark-leonard], [http://www.esiweb.org/enlargement/?cat=56&print=1]. It will fail WP:GNG only if nothing has been written about him, but he founded European Council on Foreign Relations, which is notable enough. He wrote a book in 2005, named Why Europe Will Run the 21st Century which has been reviewed by legit reviewers.[http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/60708/stanley-hoffmann/why-europe-will-run-the-21st-century],[http://blog.lib.umn.edu/whenders/internationalissues/2006/11/review_of_mark_leonard_on_why.html].

::::No, a topic certainly doesn't fail GNG only if nothing has been written about it. Having something written is not enough, specially if what's written is a blog-post. The speedy delete of Clarityfiend above is well motivated, and so is my AfD. ListCheck (talk) 15:26, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

:::::No matter how much you repeat yourself, your point is not a fact. CNN, Reuters, etc have got blog, so they don't become unreliable. You have got no reason to present that this article should be deleted, other than "it was deleted before", which is not really helpful. OccultZone (Talk) 15:34, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
