- Keep Added a couple sources. Looking at how often he has been cited in The Star [1] and The Globe and Mail [2] he's a known "Internet specialist". There are probably many more sources but have not looked too hard after seeing this. -- Green Cardamom ( talk) 07:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hirsh is a reasonably well known media commentator in Canada, so I do think it's probable that there are other sources out there about him that could be added. That said, I agree that what's here right now ain't great, and he's not a topic that I personally have enough of an investment in to justify spending my time trying to track down additional sources to improve it. If somebody is willing to do that, I'm prepared to reconsider — but given the ways in which WP:BLP has been tightened up over the years I don't see a lot of value in keeping this version of an article about him just because somebody might eventually get around to improving it. Delete; if somebody wants to start a new article about him in the future which cites stronger sources than this, then by all means go for it. Bearcat ( talk) 20:03, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
