Doesn't meet WP:GNG. All the sources supplied are affiliated. I found little other than that besides mention in a bunch of forum discussions. Largoplazo (talk) 01:34, 12 March 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  J 947  18:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete no indication that he is notable, which is shown by being covered by independent sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:40, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up - revert to stub entry and develop. This is a well-known comedian and internet personality who meets Wikipedia:Notability, but unfortunately the recent edits have not been encyclopedic at best (which I have reverted). This issue should have first been brought up on the talk page of the article rather than proceeding with a hasty deletion. Otherwise, this does not give other Wikipedians enough time to address the Multiple Issues tag placed on the page. --UnionFront (talk) 20:42, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * No, this is the proper way to go. This discussion has been running for nine days--there was plenty of time to add secondary sources (you don't offer any), but instead all nothing was added but fluff and a bunch of copied content from Wikia., is it not time to close this?

 * Delete no indication that he is notable, or covered by any independent or recent & noteworthy sources.Babsbodette (talk) 06:00, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: No evidence found of sufficient coverage for Masterson, Herrera, or for either podcast (a bit surprisingly in the case of TBPITU), even as an NPOINTS keep. Doesn't appear to meet NAUTHOR despite book published by a major publisher. https://www.patreon.com/thedickshow indicates that he has a core fan base, though. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 11:08, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: no evidence of notability. Not every author/podcaster is notable by our standards. His book was published nine years ago, and there isn't a single decent review that I can find in nine pages of Google searches ("Men Are Better Than Women" masterson); all I can find is that he was called a chauvinist in a comment on an article in the Telegraph, in 2011. So, no. Dr Aaij (talk) 01:40, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
