Fails WP:GNG- no 'significant coverage' and such coverage as it has is solely WP:PRIMARY, and neither third-party nor independent. Specifically fails WP:JOURNALIST, as subject is neither widely cited or a creator. Non-notable individual. _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:37, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per above. Also appears to be a bit of a magnet for people with a grudge. Only in death does duty end (talk) 13:40, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article appears to have been created as an attack page. The very first revision was by Tom Mendelsohn who contested the charge in the article, but was promptly reverted by the author. WP:CSD#G10 may be in order here. Bradv 13:43, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment' The idea that using sources that reflect that a journalist admitted to publishing race-bait troll pieces on a major British newspaper's website is "rumour" or "attack" is ridiculous. Funny how after the world gasped as a privileged white male had his sentence watered down, we now rush to protect another privileged, elite-schooled white boy from having publicly known facts (that he admitted himself! [1]) made public. Are articles on other similar people like Rod Liddle, Richard Littlejohn, Katie Hopkins and Milo Yiannopoulos "attack pages" for documenting their controversies?
