Not a voteIf you came here because Reddit or other Gamegate-related discussions, please note that this is not a majority vote, but instead a discussion among Misplaced Pages contributors.

All significant coverage is only marginally about the person and primarily about 8chan/GamerGate (who have their own articles, of course). The only exception is about the thievery and his disease, which both seem ill-advised pillars upon which to build an entire article (per WP:BLP1E and WP:AVOIDVICTIM).

Keep in mind that the fact he is interviewed as a significant voice in the Gamergate/8chan situation may mean he is a reliable source for his opinion(s), but does not mean he is directly notable.

A secondary possibility would be a merge to a paragraph in the article about his definitely notable project, 8chan. ☺ · Salvidrim! ·  03:33, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
