Comment: You haven't added anything that makes a difference compared to last time. This is still based primarily on sources that are not support for notability, such as interviews in which he's doing the speaking and sources that merely quote him as a provider of soundbite.
People do not pass WP:GNG, or get Wikipedia articles, by doing the speaking about other things, people get past GNG by being the subject of analytical coverage being spoken or written by other people — but the only sources present here which actually meet that standard are still all covering him in the context of a single incident that just makes him a WP:BLP1E, and you've still failed to show any evidence that he has notability-building coverage about him in other contexts besides that single incident. Bearcat (talk) 13:49, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Notability is not established simply by "verifying" facts, it is established by showing that the person has been the subject of third-party reliable source coverage and analysis about the facts.
For example, you cannot stake a person's notability on sources in which he's speaking about other things (such as interviews in which he's answering questions in Q&A format, transcripts of his own speeches, pieces of his own writing, etc.) -- notability requires him to be the subject that other people are speaking or writing about. But the only two sources here that meet that standard at all (Montreal Gazette #4 and Toronto Star #5) are both covering him solely in the context of a single incident which just makes him a WP:BLP1E and does not rise to the level of enduring permanent significance all by itself. Bearcat (talk) 15:01, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Clearly notable, unlike the other 3 attempts this one is reasonably well-sourced and independent of McCullough himself. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:09, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: You will need independent reporting about McCullough in order to satisfy notability requirements. All of your current sources appear to be primary sources where McCullough is expressing his own views. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 03:46, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Note to editors: There will be one hell of a mountain to climb if this article will ever see the light of Wikipedia mainspace - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/J.J. McCullough (3rd nomination) for criticism over article recreation. This individual is also alleged to have created his own autobiography at one stage and has taken it upon himself to criticise Wikipedia in his latest video (see here for more information on that front), which will likely draw more attention to this article from editors wishing to push an agenda one way or another. —QueenofBithynia (talk) 21:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Blocked sock.

John James "J.J." McCullough (born July 17, 1984) is a Canadian YouTuber, conservative columnist and writer for The Washington Post.[1][2] Described as an, "unclassifiable journalist,"[3] he is best known for his political and social commentary videos.[4][5][6]
Early life
McCullough grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is openly gay, and frequently identifies as a middle-class conservative.[7] McCullough graduated with a degree in political science and history from Simon Fraser University and was staff cartoonist at The Other Press.[8]
Career
McCullough began commentating professionally at Sun News Network, until its abrupt closure in 2015.[4] He also provided on-air political commentary for CTV. After Sun News closed, McCullough purchased a camcorder from Best Buy and began recording videos in his home.
McCullough has over 926,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, producing videos on a range of subjects, including both Canadian and global politics, as well as history and culture.[9] During a visit to UBC, McCullough asked commentator Ben Shapiro about Native American reservations.[10]
In January 2023, McCullough was criticized as a "bootlicker" for his interview with Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre.[11]
Views
McCullough has long been an advocate for the abolition of Canada's constitutional monarchy, and was formerly a spokesperson for Citizens for a Canadian Republic.[12] He is an advocate for the annexation of Canada to the United States.[citation needed] McCullough is also a critic of official bilingualism, and as well as of the Canadian political system.[13][14]
In February 2017, the Quebec Legislature voted to condemn an opinion piece written by McCullough in The Washington Post, which they say insulted the province.[15] McCullough later described the motion as, "preposterous and absurd".[16]
In June 2022, McCullough testified before Canada's Heritage Committee in opposition of Bill C-11.[17] After the bill was enacted, McCullough criticised the decision as, "authoritarian-minded government seeking greater control over independent media for purely ideological purposes".[18]
