WP:BIO and its subset WP:JOURNALIST require for a journalist's minimum notability threshold that they are "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" as backed by sufficient third party source reporting as required by WP:NRV. While Knowles has scattered mentions through various news events he has been through over the years it isn't clear that he, in fact it doesn't seem like he, meets the third-party sourced notability requirements that were not "not a mere short-term interest" as described in WP:NRV and WP:NTEMP. - 2601:5C2:4380:6380:FDCD:863B:69D2:EBF1 (talk) 23:29, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Completing nomination on behalf of IP editor. Above text is copied from article talk page. I have no opinion on the nomination at this time. --Finngall ^talk 16:00, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Much coverage in multiple WP:RSs, some of which are already cited in the article. --1990'sguy (talk) 03:18, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lots of varied 3rd party refs for a political commentator who seems to be notable and controversial, controversial implies notability of itself. This doesn't seem to be a suitable article for deletion. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 18:44, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Apparently he's been doing "The Michael Knowles Show" for The Daily Wire for several years now. He wrote a best-selling book reported on by the BBC. (Well, he got a satirically empty book published.) The Wapo also did a story on it, and the POTUS commented on it favorably. Knowles is young. I doubt he's going away; I imagine he will continue to grow like the other conservative wunderkind did. YoPienso (talk) 01:47, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Decent amount of RS coverage. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 02:00, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
