• Keep: (NOTE: COI: I work with this subject at his nonprofit org, and have added to this article on my own time and without his input.) I've vastly updated article since Oct 6 listing for consideration for deletion, accurately conveying mainstream media coverage and notable activities from 1990-2020. He's earned the attention of figures across the political spectrum, from Pat Buchanan, Dennis Prager, and Sean Hannity to Michael Eric Dyson, Jesse Jackson, and Rep. Ted Lieu. Subject is also featured in Yahoo News in 2018, and in a recent documentary on the most prominent black conservatives, "Uncle Tom." JamesAntonHake (talk) 04:40, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: I got here by searching for information on someone I saw in a widely distributed video. To me this is tautological proof of notability. 154.5.84.161 (talk) 07:00, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, it really, really isn't. See WP:NBIO. Grayfell (talk) 06:36, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
