Fails WP:GNG. Lots of unreliable coverage in the article, but little of substance (particularly little that's in-depth on Cohen), and all I found with a WP:BEFORE is this one-seventh of a HuffPost listicle and more news of the sort that doesn't go beyond what the article already contains.

It's been proposed for merging with Hillsborough disaster - pinging the commenters there, TipsyElephant and OGBC1992 - but I don't think that's due weight in an already very long article. I don't believe WP:BLP1E technically applies because as a radio host I'm not sure how he'd be "low profile" (criterion #2), but this information can best be covered at some article(s) about the platforms he broadcast Hillsborough misinformation on, or nowhere at all. — Bilorv (talk) 20:57, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

• Delete I originally considered opening an AfD, but I decided to pursue WP:ATD first to see what others thought. Does not pass WP:GNG. TipsyElephant (talk) 14:06, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

• Delete seems only to be famous (but not notable) for making idiotic comments, one of the shows he hosted (World Soccer Daily) has already been deleted as non-notable and I suspect the other (Fox Football Fone-In) would fail that test too. EdwardUK (talk) 16:34, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
