Deletion of David L. Jones (2nd nomination)

Comment: Does not meet Wikipedia requirement for BLP. I admire Dave, but this simply does not meet the quality requirment. It has been debated for quite a while now. Need to remove based on the policy. An interview is NOT sigificant attention and does not meet  requirement. Dave's fan boys, please check the policy first before voting.

Comment:  notes that !votes should ''"{{tq|explain how the article meets/violates policy rather than merely stating that it meets/violates the policy.}}"'' This guideline is not met by the vast majority of "delete" comments here. "BLP" is cited often but no cites have ever been given (not here, not on the article talk page) of contentious or even non-neutral material in the article that was ''not'' referenced to a source (before the article was stubbed, that is). Primary sources were claimed as violating BLP but not even BLP has a blanket restriction on use of primary sources, only against their misuse; nor have there been any cites of specific misuses of primary sources (only "that's primary, you can't use it"). (The prime example being when Ronz simply deleted all such points in the article, with a lone "BLP" in the edit summary.) One SPA IP mentions "the quality requirement" but does not cite any specific WP P or G that defines such. Another refers vaguely to "Wikipedia's standard". In at least one case it was claimed that sources were e.g. "found to be unsuitable" but this "finding" was simply "argument by vigorous assertion" of the delete camp on the article talk page. In sum, I suggest that the "delete" comments here are not presenting anything like a strong case per ; most of them amount to arm-waving and rock-throwing (rocks with "BLP" painted on them

Comment: declaration of interest - I created the article). The subject is notable and is probably the most prominent video blogger within the electronic engineering community. Much of the removed material amounts to significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources confirming his position - thus  is met. He's produced around 800 episodes of his video blog and his youtube channel has more than 283000 subscribers. The discussion forum on his website currently has 747934 posts in 50200 topics by 22702 members. This level of interest and involvement again suggests notability. There's much that could be done to improve the article, including reverting some content removals

Comment: the secondary sources listed in the article look good enough to push this past the , in particular a chapter in a dead tree book by Steven Osborn and an in depth interview in "Circuit Cellar", which looks to tick all of the  boxes
