Leader writers for major UK newspapers seem to be notable. It is odd that this particular leader writer has been chosen for deletion at this particular moment in time. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexdeGrey (talk • contribs) 20:07, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not sure how this process works but precedence indicates this is how it's done. I think that the editor who has suggested deletion needs to use google books and add additional words to Toner's name such as 'Michael Toner political editor', 'Michael Toner Sunday Express' etc. I have included a number of additional references to assist. Not sure where the nominator is based but UK leader writers tend to operate in the shadows ... yet effectively act as newspaper editors when the actual editor is absent. Toner was leader writer of two significant British newspapers — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexdeGrey (talk • contribs) 13:05, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
