Subject of article is not notable, sources cited show that they were sent to jail for a contempt of court charge and a misdemeanor picketing charge. Article is very WP:PROMO and not WP:NPOV. I did WP:BEFORE and he mentioned briefly in a three books one of them is a published that only publishes material on veganism and animal rights. The mentions were not in-depth from what I could tell. There is a section about his writing but none of the material would qualify under WP:NAUTHOR Dr vulpes (Talk) 00:48, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Also article was PRODed so that's why I brought it here to AfD. Dr vulpes (Talk) 00:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

• Delete I was considering bringing this article to AfD for the same reasons. Mccapra (talk) 06:03, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
• Delete It is shocking how much of this article is cited to self-published and social media sources like Tumblr, Myspace, Facebook, etc. A cursory search on Google Scholar doesn't show any significant coverage in reliable sources, with most mentions being passing references in lists of sentences against animal rights and environmentalist activists. Perhaps there's a redirect target, but I'm not seeing one right now. --Grnrchst (talk) 10:05, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
• @AnimalRightsArchivist, can you share the sources here that you mentioned in User talk:Explicit#Request to Reconsider the Deletion of the Jordan Halliday Wikipedia Article? Editors will be looking for the three best reliable, independent, secondary sources that cover the subject in depth, i.e., academic and professional journalist sources, no blogs, user-generated content. czar 12:31, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@AnimalRightsArchivist if you think there are some materials that are offline that would be helpful we could also send this article to draft which would give you some time to gather everything needed. For example I use the Internet Archive for a lot of sourcing but it's been offline for a few days, but you also might know of sources in magazines or books that aren't available online. I know that some of the books I noticed his name in were from really small presses so they might not have everything scanned online. Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for linking us together @Czar. Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

• Delete per reasons articulated by Grnrchst. The sourcing is almost entirely from blogs and social media. There are a couple of local news stories, but they basically all concern news about his sentencing. Bearian (talk) 03:07, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
