This article was speedy deleted once under this name and 5 times under the title Dominic Riccitello. There is some incidental coverage due to a tweet of his about a Miley Cyrus/Kelly Clarkson spat but beyond that nothing resembling meaningful coverage in multiple reliable sources.

 * Delete: some minor coverage for a tweet and a following on social media: nothing worthy of a Wikipedia article. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 15:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: Has a following and articles written. I've seen more people with pages that aren't half as interesting. If you search his name the "who" comes up - this page is helpful. 172.56.17.158 (talk) 18:20, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Both of your arguments are among those listed at Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions - WP:ITSUSEFUL and WP:OTHERSTUFF. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 20:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep: The article was put up for speedy deletion and denied. His relation to those articles isn't incidental as those articles wouldn't exist without his original comment. Has other articles and a print magazine source that suffice. TV | talk 20:54, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete you can buy 325,000 twitter followers for $5 on fivrr Legacypac (talk) 21:33, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant. The article isn't based on Twitter followers. Anyone can buy notability. Might as well delete Wikipedia. 208.54.39.221 (talk) 00:17, 19 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Upon searching the guy's name I found numerous websites posting his quotes and thousands of individuals. The notability is there. Seems the page could use more sources which weren't hard for me to find. As the page was only recently created my suggestion would be to keep and let it build. 208.54.39.221 (talk) 00:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Bizarrely, I found my way here because an article I wrote two years ago had been used as a source in this WP:BLP. Surprisingly, the article discusses Wikipedia and WP:N in particular and the fact that the wikipedia article had failed to meet criteria to avoid Speedy Deletion. Two years on I doubt any of the new sources on the  internet meet any test of WP:N. Mainstream sources haven't yet discovered the article subject yet. Until then, unless an editor can pull a rabbit out of a hat   with some source that discusses the subject de facto then I am reminded that Wikipedia does not predict the future.

 * Delete - he fails WP:42, and he's not even famous for being famous - he's really just a run of the mill tweeter. Bearian (talk) 17:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
