This article does not appear to meet the notability standards set out at WP:GNG. In particular, the topic appears to fail the "significant coverage" requirement; there are few sources out there that focus on Moore himself instead of the pirate Blackbeard. The topic also fails WP:CRIME. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 19:12, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:BLP. Besides the over-emphasis on scandal, he badly fails WP:PROF. Bearian (talk) 16:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
