While this isn't a G4, there's also no indication the factors have changed since the last AfD after which it was deleted. Star Mississippi 19:21, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The factors have changed since the last AfD. The article's subject is now covered in more reliable secondary sources that were not present in the previously deleted article, such as articles in The Atlantic, Varsity, and The Freethinker. The article from 2024 that was deleted did not contain these kinds of citations. Cyrobyte (talk) 20:14, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in addition to the sources listed by Cyrobyte and cited in the article I found Christian Post and a smattering of interviews. It looks like he clears the notability threshold to me. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:17, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:08, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep In addition the sources mentioned above, the man is becoming increasingly popular. He's had interviews and discussions with big names (and will continue to do so).

Including a debate at Oxford. The man is only 26 and has so much notoriety, there's no reason to expect him to become less notable/famous. Tbirdwinger (talk) 18:18, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I mean for a young podcaster/YouTuber who's made videos since 2013, the guy is pretty much known and his popularity is growing as I'm typing this. There are Wikipedia pages of YouTubers who have like 300K subscribers, and yet this guy's page must always be rejected? Seems bizarre to me. Yucalyptus (talk) 08:24, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's ridiculous. After I created this article, it was speedily deleted without any regard for all of the reliable coverage of its subject and the fact that I contested the deletion. Then it was undeleted and almost immediately nominated for deletion here. Cyrobyte (talk) 14:41, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Only here because I was legitimately curious who this was, Googled him, and this was there and I'm glad it was – Kjerish (talk) 04:54, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know why this page isn't being indexed by Google? Cyrobyte (talk) 02:23, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think it has been unless "indexed by Google" means something different than what I think it does (I even googled that phrase to double-check). This is the first result that popped up when I Googled his name to see how old he was. Tbirdwinger (talk) 18:22, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It takes about a month or so for a newly created Wikipedia article to be indexed by Google. At least, that's what I've noticed with my articles. Yucalyptus (talk) 02:34, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Alex O’Connor is a public personality and should be on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekocner (talk • contribs) — Ekocner (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Keep I don't know this person but looking at the article the WP:PERSON criteria are quite established from the sources provided. --RaphaelQS (talk) 05:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
