I've nominated this biography before, which ended as no consensus as there was basically no activity on the AfD. This is a BLP of a minor radio and press journalist, of which the vast majority of the sources are either (a) to his own website and YouTube channel, or (b) simply links to stories that he's written in other press outlets. There are simply no third-party sources, apart from negative ones where his misbehaviour on radio was commented on. If we removed the primary and passing mentions, we would be left with an article which basically said "this is a journalist who did these couple of fairly trivial bad things".

- Delete per nom. This person is a minor radio presenter and journalist. Nothing about him is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:47, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Unlike the claim made by the sole other participant in the first discussion, the existence of two reliable sources is not necessarily enough to get a person over WP:GNG — if you're shooting for "has a hard pass of an inherent notability marker, like winning a top award in his field or being elected as an MP", then one or two sources is enough, but if you're shooting for "hasn't accomplished anything inherently notable, but is soft notable anyway because media coverage exists", then it takes a lot more than just two sources to vault that bar. But no, the article doesn't claim anything that's "inherently" notable enough to justify leaning this heavily on primary sources in lieu of real media coverage.

- Delete: Barely found anything about him. Search results return articles written by him and mere mentions of him. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
