After nearly four years as a stub, including only one minor newsworthy citation from 2016, this article does not appear to meet the notability criteria for an article on a living person. Cmholm (talk) 20:45, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: the subject meets WP:BIO, which requires "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject", by virtue of the three articles about his 2016 Twitter controversy cited in the article. A better argument for deletion would rest on WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E, but in this case neither applies since—as I've now edited the article to make clear—Rensin was the author of a 2009 book that itself received significant coverage in reliable sources, and so meets not only WP:GNG but also WP:AUTHOR. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 23:52, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per A&H rationale. I think the current coverage just scrapes by my own standards for GNG. The article could also be moved to Twitterature: The World's Greatest Books Retold Through Twitter and refocused to concentrate on the book. buidhe 19:35, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
