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)

- Redirect to 8chan. Doesn't seem particularly notable apart from the site, agree with the nom's assessment of the article's sources. Doesn't have the coverage level of Zoe Quinn or similar to warrant an article on Gamergate. Would have suggested a merge to 8chan but the article seems to already have him (and the rest of the usable information on his page) covered substantially.
Deadbeef05:18, 7 December 2014 (UTC) - Keep I think Brennan actually had better claims for notability than 8chan for a while there given non-GamerGate coverage of his disability and his mugging, but 8chan also has independent coverage at this point. There is now sufficient basis under WP:GNG for articles on both 8chan and Frederick Brennan.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 01:55, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. We have both sources and notabilty (creator of 8chan). I don't see any complaints about our page on Christopher Poole. This is just gamergate politics spilling into related articles. Muscat Hoe (talk) 02:31, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
