Not notable, freelance work and minor brushes with the law not notable Spoonkymonkey (talk) 02:13, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep He's frequently appeared on national TV (example) even though it's normally as a guest, not host. His opinion pieces have appeared in major newspapers[1]. And, his minor personal life incidents that got mentioned, add up. So, yes, he is notable. --Rob (talk) 03:40, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does being accused of stealing gasoline and picking fights with Muslim women add to notability and warrant a Wikipedia entry? And in Canada, the Sun News network has minimal viewers and the Sun newspapers are unimportant. Spoonkymonkey (talk) 22:06, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete. Not a big fan of journalists - by virtue of publishing for a living they always appear more notable than they actually are. Has had some stuff printed in some well know newspapers, guest appearance on TV, and had some encounters with the law in different capacities. It starts to add up, but I still don't see it meeting the notability threshold. --Legis (talk - contribs) 09:47, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Notability guidelines look for signifanct coverage in 3rd party sources where the subject of the article is the subject of the coverage. Newspaper and TV appearances where the subject of the article is the author doesn't quite cut it. RadioFan (talk) 14:29, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
