Martin W. Angler
Comment: Draft reads like a LinkedIn profile, not a biography of a living person (giving a chronological account of the person's education, career, achievements, etc). Unclear that there is significant coverage about Angler (in-depth - more than passing mentions) in published reliable independent secondary sources (excluding interviews - primary per WP:IV) Paul W (talk) 10:13, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: As noted by others in draft comments and on the talk page, I do not believe sufficient coverage exists to satisfy and relevant notability guidelines. While there is some secondary coverage of Angler, it does not seem to reach the threshold of significant coverage in independent sources to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. As Angler appears to still be active he may well receive further coverage in the future that cements his notability, but at present I think it's just WP:TOOSOON for an article.

- Comment: Discussion on talk page shows genuine attempt to help identify WP:THREE but reliable secondary sources are just not there. Lacanic (talk) 23:31, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: References 1, 5, and 6 do not significantly coverage the subject and References 2 and 3 are not independent of the subject. 🌀Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) (contribs) (Why I declined your draft)🔥 06:13, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NAUTHOR) but presently it is not clear that it does. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. In short, "notability" requires reliable sources about the subject, rather than by the subject.Please note that many of the references would appear to be from sources that are NOT considered reliable for establishing notability and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, press releases, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify etc). Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a promotional CV or advertorial, which Wikipedia is not; and contains prose that is are not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK). Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). In instances of a conflict of interest, the review of the page needs to be handled with care, mindful of the higher bar set by pages produced in circumstances of such a conflict. Such pages typically may read too much like a promotional CV or advertorial, which Wikipedia is not; and/or contain prose that is not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK and WP:NPV). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject. It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX"). Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page, including the name of the draft page, and I would be happy to reassess.

He has published several books on science journalism with Routledge and Springer,[citation needed] two of which are on the book recommendation list of the Association of British Science Writers.[1]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, he covered and debunked scientific misinformation for Italian news outlets and broadcasters,[2] as well as the European Parliament's Science Media Hub.[3] After publicly calling out one editorial team for not protecting their authors against anti-vaccine activists, he drew a public irate response by the then editor-in-chief.[4]
After the Murders of Peter Neumair and Laura Perselli, Angler wrote an in-depth analysis on paricide, interviewing international experts.[5] He was subsequently invited on NZZ's podcast to talk about his work,[6] which was also covered by national broadcaster RAI.[7]
Angler is the founder and the editor-in-chief of Eurac Science Blogs, a scientific blog network at Eurac Research in Bolzano, Italy.[citation needed]
According to his own account, he has contracted Long Covid and ME/CFS in 2023, but continues to write.[8]
