*''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! [https://twitter.com/Tom_Mendelsohn/status/751790791786455040]) made public. Are articles on other similar people like [[Rod Liddle]], [[Richard Littlejohn]], [[Katie Hopkins]] and [[Milo Yiannopoulos]] "attack pages" for documenting their controversies?

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
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)
- 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)

- He contested sourced facts that he is proud to admit to his friends. Lord help us if we let every person do that '''tAD''' (talk) 13:53, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- 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? '''tAD''' (talk) 13:50, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- It only has primary sources as the third-party one was deleted for documenting things that the subject regrets '''tAD''' (talk) 13:51, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- Delete: (after (edit conflict)) Created as an unbalanced attack page, when stripped back there is no significant coverage in RS to justify a claim of notability. Subject has requested deletion at BLP/N and with such sparse coverage, this request should be respected. Also note that the article subject has edited it twice as an IP and then once as a registered editor and been threatened with a block for edit warring, so we have a BITE situation too, sadly.
