I question whether this journalist meets Wikipedia's notabilty criteria. Especially because this short bio mostly consists of incidents of his incompetence or unethical behavior. It might technically qualify as an attack page. There is also a chance that RMSdw, who is edit-warring on this article, is Ryan Saavedra from the Daily Wire who, along with RMSWA90, has only edited this one page. [Liz ^{Read!

Keep. I think the Two WaPo pieces, a CNN piece and in-depth Mediaite piece (which describes him as influential) are sufficient in terms of pointing to notability, but I don't have particularly strong feelings about it. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 03:20, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. [1] and the Mediaite piece are possibly enough for WP:BASIC, but their reliability is not transparent to me. The other sources look like passing mentions. For a person whose MO is generating controversy by owning the libs, you'd expect to see a lot more … AleatoryPonderings (talk) 03:43, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:SOAP, WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:COI. Dosafrog (talk) 13:39, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dosafrog I agree with you on deletion, as you can see, but I am mystified by your reference to that IP address. Frankly it smacks of WP:OUTING and I would suggest excising that portion of your comment. I just don't see how it's pertinent, frankly. Coretheapple (talk) 22:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coretheapple Yeah, I agree. I'll get rid of it. Dosafrog (talk) 04:02, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agree with nomination in every respect. Reads like a list of goofs. Coretheapple (talk) 14:27, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG. KidAd talk 08:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NJOURNALIST. Essentially WP:Attack page, therefore basic WP:BLP violation. Loksmythe (talk) 15:54, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
