Ben Kuchera
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Biography of a non-notable games opinion writer (previously journalist). Article has not improved since 2013/2014 and the rationales at the two previous AFD's were at best, weak for keeping. Situation has not changed, the subject's journalism did not garner any significant coverage and his subsequent opinion pieces are not notable in any way. Coverage of the subject as sourced in the article is either routine coverage (Kuchera moved employers) or directly linked (so not independant) by being related to his employment. While his name crops up in online searches (as an online writer there is unlikely to be much else) it is generally related to other subjects like gamergate etc. Opinion pieces talking about opinion pieces do not make someone notable. Its also problematic in that some of the more direct (as in, directly about Kuchera) pieces available on the web would be disallowed by WP:BLP for not being RS or being opinion pieces in themselves.
