This article was originally created in 2009 and deleted in July 2022 as a WP:G11 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=David+Le+Batard). The article was recreated with essentially the same content in December 2022 by a user who is apparently a sock of a banned user. I personally would not delete this as G11 since the original 2009 article was created by a long-standing editor and does not appear to be meant to be an advertisement, though I can also understand why others would think that way. I do agree the subject's notability is questionable. My main concern now is that the commit history is lost so contributions over the years are not recorded. If this article should stay we should restore the edit history from 2009-2022. Taking this to AfD for a decision. -SpuriousQ (talk) 22:37, 10 December 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 03:35, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
