The result was speedy delete. Per G4. My special admin glasses reveal that this article, while lacking a whole bunch of the BLP and common sense violations of version, the last one before the last deletion, the content in the current article is essentially the same as the content in in the "Relationship with Kourtney Kardashian" section of the previous article. Deleted and salted. If a redirect is to be created, feel free to request one at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects. Drmies (talk) 23:44, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been deleted at AfD three times, and each time the consensus has been that he does not inherit notability from his relationship with the Kardashians, and has none of his own. Now here it is yet again, and this version does nothing to overcome the previous reasons for deletion. Suggest delete, redirect to

  You're the author of the current incarnation of this article, so perhaps you could explain what inclusion criteria he meets, other than your own claims that he is a "staple" in various publications and a pop culture figure? I have no clue about his popularity, to be honest I never heard of this guy until today. Keep in mind that appearances don't establish notability in the same way trivial mentions in major publications don't. He may be famous by virtue of his association with someone notable, but the coverage about him seems to derive from that association. That's fine for the world outside of Wikipedia, but here we have a different definition of what "notability" means. Unfortunately

  You are misinformed. I am not the author of the current incarnation of this article. User:Croxx036 is. It would be very useful to see the deleted edit history for this article. It could shed some light on the the how this article might, or might not be, be improved. Dolovis (talk) 23:02, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: for the same reasons it was deleted three times previously. This is an idiotic abuse of process and of the community's patience. Appearing as an in-law on a reality show (which by definition is not "acting") or being mentioned in gossip magazines do not indicate lasting notability. Regardless of his fan club. DO NOT REDIRECT.

  WP:G4 excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, and therefor does not apply. Dolovis (talk) 23:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply
