Doesn't appear to be notable; he has a ~monthly column as a "Global Opinions contributing writer" on washingtonpost.com but there are no independent references about him. I'm uncertain whether this is about the same person as the article deleted in 2008. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:19, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

 * The decision of deleting in 2008 could not justify deleting the page in 2018. J.J. McCullough's influence is getting bigger and bigger through YouTube and also his increasing appearance in the media as well as different webpages. It is inappropriate to define if this page is to be kept from a result in Wikipedia 10 years ago. --NYKTNE (talk) 14:51, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Nobody appears to be suggesting that deleting this article is justified by a previous deletion. The comment above states that he is uncertain if this is the same person as the previously deleted article. Likewise, being "big" on youtube and making media appearances is rather meaningless without secondary sources.  freshacconci  (✉) 19:20, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete. Nothing claimed in this article is an automatic notability freebie that would exempt him from having to have enough reliable source coverage for it to clear WP:GNG, but exactly zero of the sources here represent reliable source coverage about him: two of the four are his own YouTube videos, a third is his own self-published website about himself, and the fourth is a simple directory listing of his own contributions to the Washington Post. A person gets a Wikipedia article by being the subject of sources written and published by other people, not by being the author of coverage of himself or other things.
