A blogger and tweeter with no claim of importance or significance. The independent references are mostly about his blog/company FanSided being acquired and not about him; one is a quote from him about posting tweets in response to Donald Trump. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: does not meet WP:ANYBIO; sources are in passing and / or WP:SPIP. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:22, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to FanSided (noting that he appears at dab Adam Best) - with or without delete. The Intercept states that the "founder of the sports blog FanSided [is] better known for his anti-Donald Trump Twitter presence"[1]. He has 175K followers[2], which is a fair quantity, and his tweets have gained a little notice"Adam+best"+trump and some level of retweeting (there was an 8k ones and a couple of 1.3k ones 2 days back) but coverage is not at a level at which impact-related notability criteria (WP:CELEBRITY#2...) appear to be satisfied. I suspect that he might end up meeting GNG eventually. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 10:57, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is an obvious PR piece. This is a non-notable subject who doesn't pass WP:GNG. Skirts89 (talk) 19:42, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Nothing to show he's notable individually but a redirect seems reasonable--although the notability of FanSided might be debatable.Sandals1 (talk) 15:46, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
