Some mentions in coverage, but not enough to make me think it passes WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 18:13, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep - While the NYTimes article isn't really WP:INDEPENDENT, Huffpost contributor article is not WP:RELIABLE, the Intellectual Conservative review is not bad. It actually helped me find a strong Sports Illustrated piece, Seattle Times (though this isn't very WP:INDEPENDENT so marginal contribution to notability), and claims that there are several others, though I can't find them online at the moment. There are multiple YouTube videos from news organizations/reliable sources too (though they are speeches). Regardless, I think notability is met here.

 * I am leaning Keep, although for opposite reasons sated above, and userfy. The New York Times, whatever you might say about their editorial choices, is a reliable source. I think, again, without agreeing to his opinions and controversies, appears to pass WP:SIGCOV. However, the current state of the article is terrible, and it needs a lot of work.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep - I added to the article that Perryman is himself African--American and had first-hand experience of the issue of which he writes. Seemed odd that the article never mentioned that. — Maile  (talk) 03:48, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
