Notability

This article passes Wikipedia notability guidelines for biographies, for the subject having recieved direct coverage at a number of notable mastheads; including the Australian Financial Review, Crikey, The Australian, and others. Required Wikipedia disclosure; while I do not work for the article's subject; I have once contributed a piece of writing to the subject's website. Jack4576 (talk) 09:31, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality issues

I have removed 1292simon's neutrality tag, as it was placed on the article without explanation on the article's talk page.

This complies with rule 2 of 'when to remove', when: "It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given."

I have also re-added the line in the opening para about the subject being the founder of MichaelWestMedia. The subject is notable for being the proprietor of that news website, equally so if not more so than his notability as a standalone journalist. Hence its worth mentioning in the article's opening sentence. Jack4576 (talk) 16:19, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Michael West Media

Does anyone know of any good sources which discuss Michael West Media? I can’t find much beyond the about us section of their website. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 02:22, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
