Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2020 February 26
I don't know how to do this correctly, but KYLE KULINSKI of SECULAR TALK has been deleted by bad faith actors and biases of Wikipedia contributors. He is the host of one of the most popular political podcasts and YouTube channels in the world. He has interviewed political candidates, been invited to numerous forums, and in general is an absolutely noteworthy, influential, and culturally important figure in progressive politics. Please examine why he was deleted and reinstate his page immediately. 67.175.20.66 (talk) GargleMySack 22:44, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Note this has already been WP:REFUNDed and is currently at User:Trackinfo/Kyle Kulinski. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:16, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - Well, the statement by the unregistered editor that they don't know how to do this correctly is true. If the draft is accepted, it is likely that unregistered editors and throw-away accounts will take a lot of interest in it (including possibly in a fifth AFD).

- There seems to be some kind of conspiracy. Numerous prominent progressive (democratic socialist or social democratic) figures in United States politics have had their Wikipedia pages deleted within the past few days. This is likely a politically motivated attack related to Bernie Sanders’ recent ascent in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, as many of these progressive figures have endorsed him. In defense of Kyle Kulinski, he has 807,000 subscribers and 666,131,830 views on his YouTube channel; 284,500 followers on Twitter, and was the co-founder of the Justice Democrats (the group which supported Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. He has been on the Joe Rogan Experience three times, a show which has featured culturally significant figures such as Bernie Sanders, Robert Downey Jr., Elon Musk, and Sam Harris. Clearly, he meets all criteria for cultural relevance, other than by Wikipedia’s arcane and archaic standards which dismiss the importance of people who have risen to prominence on YouTube. Congratulations, you anal-retentive Wikipedia cucks, The Inquisitr has already written an article about you: https://www.inquisitr.com/5913483/kyle-kulinski-wikipedia. How’s that for notability?

This page was deleted for concerns that are no longer valid. His most notable role is no longer as a supporting character on Designated Survivor (TV series). A couple months after the page was deleted, Buchanan get a main role Cobra Kai and has been part of the main cast for two seasons and soon to be a third and likely more. Buchanan was also the subject of reliable source coverage in an interview with The Blade (Toledo, Ohio) and was part of a The Hollywood Reporter article, both of which I sourced here.

- Allow recreation. I'm not up on the details of notability standards for actors, but with a two year old AfD and a claim that the concerns raised at the AfD no longer apply, there's no reason not to go ahead and recreate the article. My one suggestion is that before you do that, take a look at WP:NACTOR and make sure he meets the requirements. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:18, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
