The article has been cleaned up from its heavily WP:PROMO history that came mostly from a single SPA, but the subject still isn't notable independent of the organizations he jumps between. Lagrange613 21:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep – per WP:GNG, because "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". He's written for a stellar list of publications, has been widely covered, and has got results. Former versions of the article had a good of praise for his work, which was added and then removed by the same SPA. I agree that we don't need the praise just to show that he's notable. Can't we just have an article about his activities? – Margin1522 (talk) 07:17, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Shame was used as an WP:advert but still clearly notable. Plot Spoiler (talk) 03:14, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
