• Mr. Vinciguerra is the one of the founding editors of The Week, he has written many articles. essays and books. His latest book, Cast of Characters is a major work on the early years of The New Yorker Magazine. The New Yorker gave him access to their archives to write the book, which they would only give to a notable and accomplished author. If he can make numerous appearance on CSPAN, then he easily merits a Wikipedia posting. W.W. Norton published his latest book, they are an established publisher who publish only serious authors, which Mr. Vinciguerra is. The article should not be deleted. -GustavM

Mr. Vinciguerra's name has long appeared as a principal figure in another article, to which we have linked his biography -- the Philolexian Society article. His most recent book has attracted a lot of notice. We believe he has become a more and more prominent public figure, and we have tonight made some copy edits to improve his biographical article. These factors should rebut the case for deleting this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.134.74.74 (talk • contribs)

Yes, yesterday's copy edits were the work of two people together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.134.74.74 (talk) 13:08, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Has anyone thought to ask the subject whether he actually wants an article or not? These can become magnets for vandals, people with axes to grind, and creepy stalkers - Alison ^❤ 06:45, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• I know Tom personally and he expressed a desire to have some errors corrected. I corrected a few, such as noting that he interviewed Leka Zogu, then claimant to the throne of Albania, not his father, king Zog, who died before Tom was born. He did not express a desire to have the page removed. Please note that this entry is now linked from several other entries wherein his articles are used as references; mainly those are articles that appeared in the NY Times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.84.1.1 (talk) 19:26, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
