WP:BIO, provided reason why he was notable (head of macro) is not substantiated by sources and was publicly disputed by previous employer. Fails WP:GNG, only secondary source is a few quotes in Fox News, all of the others are blogs/podcasts/primary sources Reflord (talk) 19:28, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete footnotes one, five, and fifteen mention him in passing in one sentence. which WP:BIO says doesn't qualify. Footnote two is the New York Post and very biased, literally using the phrase "lefty censors"[1] which violates WP:NPOV. I'll also echo failing WP:GNG. Footnotes five, ten, eleven, and twelve are all Fox News. While footnotes six, seven, and eight provide detail about a lawsuit he's involved in, this isn't "worthy of notice," "remarkable," or "significant" per WP:BIO. These are the sources that another commenter added. I would respond directly to that but I don't see the reply button on their comment. KickAffs TakeNegs (talk) 09:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I added a few more WP:RS to boost notability. Hence WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV are met. All the sources used prove the subject met the demands of WP:BIO, WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV Here are the 3 new sources added as extra:
