Keep Clearly notable individual with long term coverage. BLP issues, if present, should be addressed in article. Coverage is sustained, long lasting, and in good sources - e.g.: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].Icewhiz (talk) 14:53, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep Icewhiz is completely correct. When we see an article on a notable topic, which triggers a concern for us, but the problem is potentially fixable, policy compliant contributors know they should never jump to a nomination to delete. Articles on notable topics should only be nominated for deletion if there is a record, on the talk page, that good faith contributors have worked hard to agree on a version of the article, and, after long effort, are hopelessly deadlocked.

I am calling for snow keep, because I know, for a certain fact, that Icewhiz's excellent point has been explained to nominator CommotioCerebri numerous times before. This nomination is an instance of WP:IDHT. Geo Swan (talk) 17:12, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - The Jihadi Jack? I know he's no John but come on. I'm not going to even entertain this AFD with a thoughtful response. If the nom could not even glance at the coverage and impact surrounding this man, his statement has no ground to stand on.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:20, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SNOW Keep - Per Icewhiz. Subject of the article is clearly notable, and has multiple reliable sources backing that up. Suggest close per WP:SNOW. –Miles Edgeworth^Talk 17:28, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
