Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carl Benjamin
It is |too soon for an article that would cover Benjamin encyclopedically. I am not convinced that the depth of coverage is substantial enough for a BLP, given that it consists almost exclusively of short opinion pieces and trivial mentions. Most of these are already included in the article itself or are discussed above, and I found no other substantial coverage after a thorough search. The opinion pieces (like the articles in the ''http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-the-guardian-copyright-takedown-africa-video-20150610-story.html Los Angeles Times'', ''http://www.telesurtv.net/english/opinion/Gentlemen-Its-Time-We-Had-a-Serious-Talk-20160601-0009.html telesur'',  and the ''http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matthew-rozsa/sargon-of-akkad-and-the-i_b_9650168.html Huffington Post'', which is http://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/sargon-of-akkad-and-the-free-speech-imperative-mrzs/ republished at the Good Men Project) comprise the most substantial portion of this article's sourcing, and while they are useful additions to an article in representing the spectrum of opinion, |they are rarely reliable for statements of fact. I am extremely skeptical of counting ''Heat Street'' as an RS–it does not make any attempt to distinguish its mostly satirical opinion commentary (e.g. https://heatst.com/gaming/american-values-under-attack-link-is-transgender-for-10-minutes-in-new-zelda-game/ "American Values Under Attack: Link Is Transgender for 10 Minutes in New ‘Zelda’ Game", https://heatst.com/gaming/why-tracer-being-gay-is-offensive-to-otherkin-like-me/ "Why Tracer Being Gay Is Offensive to Otherkin Like Me") from actual journalism
