Media personality who co-hosted a radio show in a mid-sized market for two years a decade ago and has a podcast with 94 Patrons and YouTube view counts in the hundreds  and a YouTube channel with 2.12K subscribers and most of its videos receiving less than a thousand views. Does not meet WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:GNG. Hirolovesswords (talk) 01:44, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Reply- The numbers do not match what Hirolovesswords is claiming, as the link below will show you that Zumock has over 615k views (See About section within the following link:

Zumock is a constant target of online harassment and I suspect this request to be a form of vandalism. In addition, Zumock also mentioned that his Wikipedia page had been improved just two days ago on the most recent episode of Kevin Brennan's podcast Misery Loves Company. Zumock is also a co-host on several radio/podcast shows, as his wiki page shows, and aforementioned, the numbers do not match this user's claims. If anything, the semi-protection on this page should be more restrictive, as there's a history of these type of requests/attacks.

 * Having a total of 615k views on YouTube and being a "co-host on several radio/podcast shows" still doesn't mean he meets WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:GNG. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 04:14, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Even more red flags, this concerning. Oaktree b (talk) 23:15, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Zumock just filmed a Dry Bar Special this year

 * and is verified on all social media platforms. @Hirolovesswordscontinues to vandalize this page Brickman757 (talk) 18:02, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * We'd need a discussion of the comedy special from reliable news sources, not simply a link to it. Oaktree b (talk) 02:10, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete no major sourcing, I find CD releases and the like on cleveland.com. Oaktree b (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Cleveland.com is a major publication which was launched by Advance Publications in 1997, is the sister company of The Plain Dealer. Cleveland.com has only an online presence, while The Plain Dealer provides a print newspaper only, not a digital edition. Content from each is cross-posted on the other. It should also be noted the show Zumock was on in Cleveland was number one in every demo and had affiliates in St Louis and Detroit. Brickman757 (talk) 14:54, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete - Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:ENTERTAINER. No indication of awards. The sources cited provide little biographical details, and searching online I found only brief mentions, and details of his arrest. Several of the sources cited are from his university newspaper.
