Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Pearce (philosopher) (3rd nomination)
I can't see sufficient evidence of notability. He fails  and . The only source that helps establish notability is the Dazed & Confused story, which isn't hugely detailed but has some info.http://www.hedweb.com/hedethic/dazed-confused2.html The link to German Vanity Fair is purely an interview, so it doesn't count as a secondary source. Ditto the io9 interview (io9 editorial is reliable but not interviews). Other coverage seems to be from very obscure transhumanist publications. As to other notability guidelines, there are no notable books by this person; he's not employed by any academic institution or recipient of anything (awards, fellowships, state honors, etc) to show his significance. So we'd need either more press/media coverage about him (i.e. not interviews) in multiple sources, or credible, referenced statements about his importance as a philosopher. He seems to be someone with mildly interesting ideas who's got a small amount of press coverage but who doesn't quite meet our notability requirements, so I wouldn't be opposed to merging or mentioning him in articles on relevant topics if there are suitable articles
