I'm unsure about this one. It has 46 citations, but around 30 of them are to the subject's own website and/or YouTube channel. A number of the non-primary references are to interviews that the subject has conducted, but they're not about him, they're about the interview. My concern is that if one stripped all the primary-sourced and not-about-the-subject content out, you would be left with the "Radio Controversies" section, which is not exactly flattering (and is only sourced to 2 reliable sources anyway once one removes the primary ones).

• Keep. If in-depth coverage in two reliable sources exists, then notability has been established. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:28, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah, that's the point though - it's not in-depth, it merely reports that he did something ridiculous on his local radio show and was censured for it. Black Kite (talk) 22:54, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
