The result was no consensus‎. Ultimately the disagreement came down to whether the "+" in the NYT+ sources were sufficient, and it wasn't settled. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:02, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable radio personality. The one NYT article is fine, but that's about all there is for this individual. Oaktree b (talk) 20:22, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Just about. This person is more of a social media personality than a radio guy, and there seems to just about be enough sourcing to justify an article, including in the NYT. It's fluffy stuff, but pop culture generally is. Flip Format (talk) 09:30, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "Most known for hosting Fallen Media's TikTok interview series, "What’s Poppin? With Davis!" " and consensus has been consistently that's not notability, right there. NYT, fine - although I can't access it and suspect it's an interview - but even if we count it towards WP:GNG, that's one single RS piece. Other than that, we're at Footwear News (an interview) and I'm not buying. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The NYT article is actually not an interview; it can be accessed here through the Internet Archive. While this piece is mostly an interview, the paragraph that precedes the actual interview is enough to constitute significant coverage. There's also this article, as well as this tangential coverage in Business Insider. WP:BASIC allows us to combine non-substantial coverage from reliable sources to meet notability guidelines, so I think this is already enough. Pinging Alexandermcnabb to make them aware of the NYT article. Actualcpscm (talk) 17:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, thanks. The NYT is all there is to be said in defence but it is an interview, albeit with a gushy intro. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:38, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
