:::''The Atlantic'' is the only source you have there that approaches RS, the one article (from 2012) merely mentions him in a long list of Al Jazeera contributors (doesn't "cite him"), and the other - again, from 2012 - features a single quote complaining that the contemporaneous US President (Obama) is beholden to AIPAC. So no, he doesn't meet the threshold for notability. One citation from a decade ago does not equate to "widely cited by peers". It proves the exact opposite, he's not a peer. He does have a single recent publication to his name in a non-partisan RS. Not a one.

Globalistan
There should be a separate Wikipedia article entitled Globalistan. Globalistan is a large topic and merits its own article. Billions of people are forced to live in Globalistan against their will and yet Globalistan does not even have its own WIkipedia article.
-some have suggested it could be merged with the WIkipedia article NBA —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.67.17.194 (talk) 08:29, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
Neutrality
It seems biased that the only article of Escobar's mentioned in the page is the one where he made a huge mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.39.92.104 (talk) 04:10, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Furthermore, the cited article does not contain the mistake that this page claims it does. The cited article is inaccurately summarized by whomever put it there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.2.164 (talk) 01:26, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
This article is biased on the opposite side, because Pepe Escobar was fired from a Brazilian newspaper in the 80´s due to plagiarism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.87.240.5 (talk) 02:31, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
"Context" about Escobar
I removed a paragraph added by Philip_Cross which IMO violates BLP and BALASP:
The Anti-Defamation League described Escobar as a "anti-Israeli journalist". Escobar was among those attending the New Horizon Conference in Tehran, Iran in Fall 2014 along with others the ADL described as antisemites and Holocaust deniers.
It took me just a moment of searching on Google to discover a detailed article about the conference based on information from Gareth Porter , who "was upset by the content of the conference ..[because] the organizers had assured him that extremists wouldn't be there...Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin and Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar, also in attendance, were equally upset about the conference."[1] Jeremy Stone, who funded Porter's travel, remarked "in our half-century of efforts to prevent war, terrorism and genocide, and forestall the collapse of civilization, it is not feasible to avoid attending Middle East conferences that might, in the end, be attended by various nuts in varying proportions." Devoting a paragraph to an attack piece from ADL without other context violates BLP and greatly unbalances this very brief article about Escobar. HouseOfChange (talk) 13:39, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
Notability, per NJOURNALIST 1: "widely cited by peers"
Pepe Escobar's peers would be other journalists who take an interest in world affairs. Based on multiple citations from multiple journalists over multiple years, he meets WP:NJOURNALIST #1, widely cited by peers.
- 2012 The Atlantic[1][2]
- 2013 Mercury News[3]
- 2015 The Week[4]
- 2016 Oliver Stone in Interview magazine[5]
- 2019 Jacobin and Secret Notes from Iran[6][7]
- 2021 Times of Malta[8]
The article needs more third-party sourcing and better content, but Escobar is clearly a notable journalist. Of course, it is always a problem to Google material ABOUT journalists because there is typically so much more material written by said journalists. HouseOfChange (talk) 16:48, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

A look at the list of Al Jazeera correspondents, commentators and anchors offers dramatic proof of its cosmopolitan breadth.
