With 91 references and two failed AfDs, this article doesn't seem to be a strong candidate for deletion. But a closer inspection of the content of article and references reveals that it is just a WP:BLP1E pluff piece. The person came to prominence with the 2009 U.S. state dinner security breaches incident and most of the coverage relates to that. Some other references relate to routine coverage of lawsuits and appearances in some reality shows. There is nothing of substance to suggest that this person meets the notability criteria for people (WP:NBIO). Regards, TryKid&thinsp;[dubious – discuss] 03:13, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: I read the older discussions and my take is that this person seems to be notable for a lot of small things. It maybe be that each of the things he is notable for is not enough, but taken together, I definitely thinks he passes the notability threshold. Someone in the old debate wrote that the was a publicity slut. Perhaps true, but apparently a very successful publicity slut. Im The IP  (talk) 01:49, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per other discussions, he passes notability. As WP:NTEMP notes, if he was once notable, he continues to be notable. Meanderingbartender (talk) 10:33, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
