The article is devoted in bulk to one episode in this person's life that reflects negatively upon him. Without that the subject is simply not notable, so it warrants deletion under WP:BLP1E. Coretheapple (talk) 18:01, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - While I agree that this article is a piece of shit, placing undue emphasis on a single moment in the subject's biography, it does not follow that this is a non-notable subject. See, for example "Yoshi Sergant and the Art of Change" (LA Weekly); "No Longer at the NEA, Yoshi Sergant is Back Among the Artists" (Fast Company); and evidence of importance in the artistic community as a speaker at Convergence 2014. Passes GNG, this aside from the fact that his targeting by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy and removal from the NEA was national news in the United States. The fact that an article sucks is not a valid reason for deletion. Carrite (talk) 14:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
