Deletion of Fredrick Brennan

Comment: The Al Jazeera America article and the New York Times article are significant coverage, and don't even mention 8chan or GamerGate. They are about him and his life. His life happens to be continuously influenced by his disability - he can't walk, he can barely pick anything up, his tools to do something as simple as turn on faucets break every month, pretty much all he can do is type. But that's not an event, that's a life. '''Having a disability is not '''. We have plenty of articles about people notable strictly due to their disability, from Terry Wiles to Joseph Merrick to almost all the :Category:People with gigantism, to ... no doubt everyone can think of many many others. Yes, those two articles about his life despite his disability by themselves would suffice for . But that's not all he's notable for. He's not . He's not a victim, solely the face of his disability, he's very much his own man. He's notable for, ''despite'' his disability, and holding down two jobs, doing things that had nothing to do with his disability, namely founding 8chan, ''and'' being a prominent voice on GamerGate. He is the person that the Huffington Post and The David Pakman Show - major sources - went to for long interviews about it.

Comment: as a somewhat unusual BLP. I will also say that ''the substantial focus on disability is extremely professional'' and it reads like something of a fluff piece. Would also support a '''merge''' to 8chan if the weight of sourcing places matters exclusively on it. Taken alone, most of the matters mentioned in the article and the sources related to only human interest and "mentions" other than straight content pieces is a decent case for . All these smaller pieces combined and I think overall you end up with suitable notability. There's no specific one thing I can point to as being some kind of turning point nor exact guidelines I can quote, and some of the sourced articles aren't the best quality; I'd probably !vote a delete if it were restricted to 1-2, but this many? Yeah. Marginally notable +  x even a bit more than 1  =  enough for me
