An Infowars "journalist". The first eight pages of Google showed nothing that could be used as a WP:RS to establish notability. The sources currently cited are either dubious or trivial, wit the exception of "Radio host protests 'police state' in Ferguson". This is WP:BLP1E territory, if that.

- Article from Evening Standard, Daily Mail & book reference also aren't trivial.
- There's little doubt he's a rising star of the alt right.
- We may not agree with him, but I'd say he's definitely notable, and someone people will be looking up... Wiki page stats show this isn't a dead page. I can't stand him but still contributed to the page (from the UK) because of the buzz around him here.

- Wikipedia is full of deleted articles on people who are "rising". We have articles once they have risen. And I'm in the UK, what "buzz" are you talking about? Admittedly I never read the Daily Heil. Guy (Help!) 07:25, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- His show was Twitter UK's chosen live stream for the Alabama elections. Weekday live show (from the little I've seen) seems to average around 10K viewers. He's also been named in the Scottish Herald, Boston Globe, NY Mag, The Guardian and My Statesman. When a name is being used in newspaper articles like that, I do expect to be able to look up who I'm reading about! 03:57, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

- Delete - No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, and as such fails WP:BIO. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 10:50, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

- Keep I'm finding lots of coverage of this fringe media personality. In Vox, Slate, and elsewhere. For example, here's an article largely about his work (even if the headline features Alex Jones) see here. The Wikipedia entry should reflect his provocateur efforts and involvement in promoting conspiracy theories. His notability is established by coverage he's received.

- Keep As above. 80.193.190.189 (talk) 05:05, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep I created this page after seeing a number of people I "follow" on Twitter discussing Owen and his work during his Alabama coverage. I apologise if I didn't use the best references - there were so many others I could have used but I chose the ones that I considered best out of the many pages and search results I came across "at the top" of Google. I realise much of this may be "self-generated", but there was equally genuine external coverage (both positive and negative). It is the first page I've created and any feedback on how I can improve it much appreciated. MattiasDhlb (talk) 21:03, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep He genuinely meets the notability criteria as well as being subject of discussion in various reliable sources. This shouldn't even be a contentious issue. LaceyUF (talk) 08:14, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
