Deletion of Chicken John (2nd nomination)

Comment: Meets  through coverage in a wide variety of reliable sources. The https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/09/arts/09arma.html?ei=5088&en=91dedd4ba9963741&ex=1312776000&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&pagewanted=all&_r=0 New York Times piece gives him several paragraphs and his involvement in Cacophony, The Murder Junkies, as well as his mayoral campaign, when combined, establish notability

Comment: still fails , but the subject has received passing mention (not being the primary subject of the source) in reliable and non-reliable sources. The subject is now "selfpublished", but I am not sure if the subject is notable enough as a writer to pass . Perhaps  would best describe my opinion on the subject at this point

Comment: The article has been heavily edited from its former version to eliminate all  for neutrality's sake (much to my chagrin, as I considered them contextually valuable). Even though it's half its original length, there are still several reliable independent sources which strongly suggest notability. Focusing on  or  (or maybe  for that matter) seems to be missing a bigger point: Chicken John is known for ''many things'' — and this is what the sources show
