Recreated yet again, this time substantially worse than the last version. Not seeing how this passes notability when the much more extensively referenced version that was up for deletion previously (see this archive from the wayback machine) got deleted. As with last time, there's a lot of passing references, but basically no in depth coverage by reliable sources. I would recommend WP:SALTING. Hemiauchenia (talk) 18:58, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's unfortunate, because there is a lot to talk about Cheong, including a lot of criticism, but this page is such a paltry stub. Tooncool64 (talk) 19:03, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hemiauchenia: have you just removed the WP:A7 tag? Why? Deltaspace⁴² (talk • contribs) 19:03, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's been contested, and people are going to keep recreating it, so I think requesting SALTING is the best idea. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:06, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that makes sense. Deltaspace⁴² (talk • contribs) 19:08, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete and salt I really have no clue what could possibly be added that renders the AfD of last month invalid. This is more of a procedural matter than something up for debate. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:16, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Again? Delete for same reasons as last time, and that nothing new has happened in the last month to increase notability. SALT also. Oaktree b (talk) 21:14, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Subject has enough sources for a stub article.Eric Carpenter (talk) 22:26, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete and salt per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ and Oaktree b. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:29, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedily delete and salt You're kidding me. Again?! See the previous 2 AfDs; nothing has changed. InfiniteNexus (talk) 01:28, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt Pay-for-play provocateur who will never visit the place they criticize the most and whose current writing is otherwise stuck on a dying platform. Nate • (chatter) 02:41, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah... I'm inclined to agree. At worst, his article could be used to spam his dying platform. Using Wikipedia to fuel bad actors is kind of the reason they salted Chris Chan's article, from what I'm given to believe. It's only consistent to salt this guy, too.

Delete and salt per last AFD's conclusion less than 2 months ago. Sergecross73 msg me 02:54, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt on procedural grounds. TompaDompa (talk) 16:27, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete and salt per the above. Left guide (talk) 10:08, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete, clear case of G4. Belichickoverbrady (talk) 04:59, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt simply because it has never been made with substantiating sources. While he *is* a highly influential journalist in alt right circles, the brouhaha about his page on here has me inclined to believe it'll be more trouble to keep having this discussion than the tiny article's unsubstantiated sources warrant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by George Mucus (talk • contribs) 14:23, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Salt and delete - per all above. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 11:33, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
