Dear MelanieN, Thank u for your observations. As u will have seen with the last submission only a summary has been submitted. It is correctly sourced. Nothing is copied/pasted from another source. I have done what you said and created a greyhound90/jonathan power page.

Just to clarify the integrity of the submission in the original version when there were 2 queries about 2 of his documentary films made for the BBC- "It's Ours Whatever They Say" and the Diplomatic Style of Andrew Young"- the following should be noted. It was suggested that Jenny Barraclough made these films and received the awards not Jonathan Power. The fact is at that time Jenny and Jonathan were working as a partnership. Jenny was the director and Jonathan was the reporter (and in the case of the first film, the producer.) The prize given at the Venice Film Festival was not the Silver Lion and Jonathan has never claimed it was. That prize is for cinema feature films. The prize for "It's Ours" was for documentary films category. The film was also chosen for the London Film Festival of that year, 1972. In the case of Venice Jenny Barraclough's name was on the award. In the case of the London Film Festival only Jonathan Power's name was credited. In order to verify this you must contact Jenny at [email protected]. Regards, Jenny Eklund. Greyhound90 (talk)

@Greyhound90: I have looked at your draft article. I'm sorry but it is not going to meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion here. The criteria can be found at WP:GNG, WP:BIO, and specifically WP:AUTHOR. Wikipedia requires that there be significant coverage ABOUT the person from independent third-party sources. Almost every reference in your article is to things written BY Power. That does not count toward notability; there must be notice taken of him by WP:independent WP:reliable sources. You don't list any such sources. And just now in a search I couldn't find anything in reliable sources about him, or about his books or other writing. Getting stuff published is not in itself a criterion of notability. Neither is interviewing important people, per WP:NOTINHERITED. Bottom line, articles about him have been deleted four times; this version would undoubtedly get deleted again. --MelanieN (talk) 15:31, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
