This blogger doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG with only passing mentions in reliable sources (refs 3-6) or primary sources (1-2). SmartSE (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Note that prior to this article being created, the title existed as a redirect to Marc St. James, a notable television character whose first name runs a high risk of being misspelled by users since "Mark" is more common a spelling than "Marc" in many English-speaking countries. I agree that the blogger does not have sufficient coverage in reliable sources to qualify for an article, but the title should be reverted back to a redirect rather than simply becoming a redlink. Revision delete the edits that have taken place since July 18, but keep the original redirect. Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes I should have said that. Please leave the redirect to Marc St. James. SmartSE (talk) 21:40, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete (keeping the old redirect). Subject is a fashion blogger with a real following (13,000 on twitter) but no evidence I can find of significant coverage in reliable sources. Sources on page are article he wrote and a couple of shout-outs to his blog.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:21, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete the edits of the current article, and restore the previous redirect. It's pure self-promo of a person with no claim to notability. Kraxler (talk) 16:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
