Delete the stuff here really fails under the not news guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:27, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep he's been the subject of multiple news stories over many years; see Washington Post (2008) Washington Post (2001), Washington Post (2003), LA Times (2003-- paywalled but looks promising), a brief mention here, Roll Call (2005), AP (republished in Sydney Morning Herald (2005), passing in The Telegraph (2014), and similar. It's admittedly rather borderline, but I think his stunts drew sufficiently wide attention for a sufficiently long period of time to avoid WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS concerns and to push him into the realm of notability.

Keep based on the news coverage and it is not about a single event. He has done it numerous times. Expertwikiguy (talk) 06:59, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
