The edit history of this page points to the fact that it was written largely by accounts affiliated with the subject, or IP edits. There is no clear notability of this character, and the relevance of their page is unquestionably proven to be... irrelevant. Edit history shows that TheCarefulReader being not only the page creator, but also the repeated person to vouch for the notability of this page.

I propose deletion on the following merits:

Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of self-promotion <- TheCarefulReader created this page and tries to keep it up as a means of self promotion
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information <- Self explanatory
Notability is not temporary <- The only argument for keeping the page up is his minor involvement in a recent one-off event. It does not pass the merits required of notability. He is only relevant because of a temporary event. This does not pass the guidelines required.

I tried my best to clean up the page as it existed (which was filled with editorialized details and non-NPOV). That said, given Wikipedia guidelines, there's no reason why this page has to exist. I agree with the preceding comments in the talk page and nominate for deletion.westin (talk) 21:46, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Few users visited this page before his 15 minutes of fame. This qualifies as temporary notability. Notwithstanding the clear evidence that the subject of this article was the creator, I also nominate for deletion. Tawnybrunt (talk) 06:10, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
