This isn;t my usual field, but even by the apparent standards of WP articles obj bloggers, I don't see notability here. No 3rd party sources besides a trivial Guinness record.  DGG ( talk ) 16:29, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nakon  01:36, 29 April 2015 (UTC) This is a hard one, which is probably why it's only had a single comment in three weeks. This person is right on or near the fringe of notability. I'm going to examine this one in depth:


 * Ref #1 is Box Angeles, which has no article, and appears to be local.
 * Ref #2 shows that he has appeared The Naughty Show and Three Sheets. In fact, he's been in two Naughty Show eps., #105 and #153.
 * Ref #3 is a podcast he hosted, that is not notable on it's own.
 * Ref #4 is a single HuffPo top 6 list, which is junk content.
 * Ref #5 is a single article from five years ago, which reveal his podcast has been downloaded 150k times as of 5 years ago.
 * Ref #6 shows 303 articles he's written for LAist, but that site is part of a family of city-blogs.
 * Ref #7 is a time magazine article...about Chik-fil-a being controversial, which I can't read because of a paywall. The preview that peasants like me get to see doesn't mention this person.
 * Ref #8 shows him complaining about pricy t-shirts, which isn't notable at all.
 * Refs #9 and #10 are both his own site
 * Ref #11 doesn't mention this person, at least in the text. If he's broken a world record, it would be more legitimate if it referenced a more official source on the matter.
 * Ref #12 shows that he appeared once on Fox Sports Radio, as mentioned in the text
 * I have removed his links to his social media accounts.
 * His podcast is mentioned on cognitea, which is not notable, and appears to be trying to sell me something.
 * This article has been created by the subject, and edited by him. Some of the minuscule mentions on major sites like HuffPo and Time seem to have been added in response to this AfD.

I can say for sure that he is not notable as a writer, Sullivan and Son isn't notable enough. This is his only credit.

I'm going to have to say weak delete. I'm seeing a lot of table scraps and little meal from the references and links, and the obvious stigma that happens when you create an article about yourself.
