Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO) but presently it is not clear that it does. As other reviewers have noted, 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’. Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including 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). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements (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) then resubmit the page and leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere! Cabrils (talk) 05:33, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
Comment: At least some of the sources do not support the content. I updated one to support the Pelikán quote, but then also found the source for the next paragraph did not support the content as it's WP:SYNTH. Simply citing a list of articles he wrote is not sufficient to support "While at RFE/RL between 1996 and 2003, Naegele focused primarily on the Western Balkans,...". You need sources that explicitly state that. Also, interviews or what he has written are primary sources and not independent so should only be used very sparingly and for only very basic facts, like date of birth. If you have questions or need help, you ask at the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 19:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment: This is a WP:BLP article, so all statements and claims should be backed up with inline citations to reliable sources. The Career section is currently completely unreferenced, with huge amounts of unsourced information. Inline citations to reliable sources should be added and unverifiable information should be removed. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 13:43, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Jolyon Naegele (born April 19,1955 in New York, NY) is a former journalist and political analyst based in the Czech Republic. He was Voice of America’s correspondent for Central and Eastern Europe (1984-1994) covering the final years of Communist state rule, the revolution of 1989 and the break-up of Yugoslavia and the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia. He subsequently worked as an editor at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) based in Prague (1996-2003). He was chief political affairs officer in the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, UNMIK in Pristina (2003-2017), heading the mission’s Office of Political Affairs for ten years.[2]
Career
editNaegele joined Voice of America (VOA) in 1984, working as a correspondent for Central and Eastern Europe covering the region while being based as VOA bureau chief in Vienna (1984-89), Bonn (1989-90) and Prague (1990-94).[3] Naegele’s interview for VOA with Alexander Dubček attracted considerable attention in Czechoslovakia and in foreign news media, including the New York Times.[4]
Czech sociologist and former dissident Jiřina Šiklová in her laudatio in honor of Naegele upon his winning the annually awarded Pelikán Prize,[5] named after Czech politician and journalist Jiří Pelikán, described Naegele as “a great journalist, correspondent, and indirectly the creator of the local culture. With your words, you connected us, who lived here behind the barbed wire borders, protected us, increased our self-confidence and,above all, conveyed the feeling that ‘the world knows what is happening here’. By writing and reporting about us, you helped form domestic and foreign public opinion about local conditions.”
While at RFE/RL between 1996 and 2003, Naegele focused primarily on the Western Balkans, reporting inter alia on post-war reconstruction in Bosnia and Herzegovina, armed conflict and its aftermath in Kosovo and the insurgency in Macedonia, ethnic identity issues and corruption in Montenegro. He also covered the electoral defeat of Slovak populist Prime Minister Vladimír Mečiar and political and ethnic minority issues in Turkey.
In the course of his 14 years at the UN mission in Kosovo, Naegele’s tasks included coordinating direct dialogue between the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in Pristina and the Serbian authorities in Belgrade, serving as UNMIK’s representative on the Central Election Commission in Kosovo, a task which included monitoring elections. On behalf of UNMIK’s head, the Special Representative of the Secretary General, Naegele also facilitated Kosovo’s participation at annual gatherings of foreign ministers of the West Balkan states with their counterparts from the Visegrád-Four as well as of the South-East European Cooperation Process, where some member states, which did not recognize Kosovo in the first years after its declaration of independence would not otherwise have agreed to permit Kosovo’s participation. Naegele also participated in an OSCE-chaired committee in the drafting of the 2008 Constitution of Kosovo derived from the 2007 Ahtisaari Plan for resolving Kosovo’s status.[6]
