Article is an unreferenced BLP (one historical link appears to be nonfunctional) tagged for nearly 3 years as such. What appears to be the article's subject very recently has deleted most of the article including the multiple tags, leaving an unreferenced stub of one sentence. Attempts to Google information about the subject revealed no reliable sources. This seemed not to be a candidate for a speedy. Jus da fax 08:14, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Delete. I found a few of the articles he wrote for Time and a brief mention [http://books.google.com/books?id=rExAbis-j8sC&pg=PA10&dq=%22Stephen+Short%22+journalist&hl=en&sa=X&ei=zLoUUY_hIoLr0gGxyoCADQ&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22Stephen%20Short%22%20journalist&f=false here], but nothing that would show that he's particularly notable. He's one of hundreds of journalists that work for notable publications but fly firmly under the radar.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:46, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Delete - per nom and Tokyogirl. He won a couple of awards (the same one twice) but the award itself seems not to be notable enough for an article. I couldn't find anything else that would confer notability. Stalwart111 09:08, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
