Fails WP:G5 (article author is blocked sock of editor topic banned from editing political biographies) as there are no other contributions, except reverted edits by single-purpose accounts. wumbolo ^^^ 15:48, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is unfair to say that Sagecandor was the only contributor. He created the article but there have been several other contributors since then. Passes GNG for what it's worth (although I don't think that's what is at issue here). ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 16:38, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article was created by a sock puppet of a banned (but not blocked) user. It is unclear what "substantial edits by others" means in G5, which is the sole reason given for deleting the article. According to the edit counter 27 other non-bot editors are responsible for about 15% of the content of the article but edits or text. I'm willing to be swayed by arguments about what is a substantial amount of edits, but given that the editor in question was not blocked, I'm inclined to save the article.

@Hawkeye7: I have the WhoColor extension on my Google Chrome browser, and Sagecandor created 100% of the article. wumbolo ^^^ 07:56, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. He removed a "Controversy" section as "BLP violation and Synth" - this may have been the primary contribution by others. Your own contribution appears to be the banner at the top. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:34, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
