Kevin Healey (autism activist)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Regular notable does not make him 100% notable, notability is solely restricted to local notability. National coverages only apply as a alleged social media victim which does not make him inheritantly notable overall. Master Cool (talk) 09:46, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Despite a pretty good attempt to promote, the subject is not notable. Super Tomas (talk) 17:04, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Master Cool and Super Tomas are ✅ socks of Donnie Park, the nominator in the first AfD. See Sockpuppet investigations/Donnie Park.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:43, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely clear of the point here. It suggests that this page is a self promotion piece.  The article reads in a fairly neutral fashion with a good range of independent sources.  If you read the edit history there is no evidence of repeated attempts to edit this into a promotion piece.Pstansbu (talk) 07:50, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - he's one of those people who is trying to get noticed, when notable people don't have to try. But he's had enough coverage that I think Wikipedia should have an article about him. - Richard Cavell (talk) 22:40, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Kevin is not a well known Advocate outside of his local community. Most of his work has been self published, and with his resignation from his role at the National Autistic Society, he has no national position or position of responsibility. In my view he is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanhendry94 (talk • contribs) 07:32, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't believe his holding a "national position or position of responsibility" has anything to do with notability in it's own right and, therefore, the fact he no longer holds this position does not diminish his notability as seems to be suggested here. Pstansbu (talk) 06:15, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - it feels like there is enough coverage of his life to warrant keeping. Even where he has originally been involved in production of book and film this has been covered on sites such as Express and ITV which suggests reasonable notability.   Whilst not major articles these seem long enough to be considered non-trivial.  These add to the range of coverage that was discussed when the article was previously nominated for deletion.  His receipt of a British Citizens award seems worthy of mention, whilst these awards aren't massively well known and wouldn't warrant notability if the only factor, they add to an overall picture that this page should be kept.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 23:35, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I think sufficient sourcing exists and moreover I'm not a fan of allowing sockpuppets to get their way. Pinging to ask him to investigate the suspicious involvement of Ryanhendry94 in this discussion. Lepricavark (talk) 12:18, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * In addition I've just noticed Ryanhendry94 has posed a question on the talk page regarding allegations about bullying carried out by Kevin Healey and added links to some of the allegations made - I have just responded to that query. This might have been written entirely in good faith but could also indicate a lack of neutrality on the subject Pstansbu (talk) 13:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Procedural Keep - After an AfD in 2015, result was Keep. Notability is not temporary, nor have community standards changed since then. Stop wasting our time. Carrite (talk) 16:34, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
