Unsourced BLP of a person who has no other good sources I could find online (except for one French language one that seems to fail WP:RS). Previous AFD discussion from 2011 decided keep, but I do not believe this person passes GNG. TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 15:36, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and restore content: After MichaelQSchmidt saved this article during the last AfD (as he was known for back in the day), someone deleted it all in 2013 and until 2016 made it to what you pretty much see today, sans the YouTube links. Information needs to be restored by the last known good revision with all citations. Mike Allen 15:52, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User:MikeAllen, thank you. I restored the version to before the disruption you noted; in addition, I blocked a couple of the accounts responsible for the mess this article was in. Whether it is now good enough to say, I don't know--I think the coverage is very thin. User:TheManInTheBlackHat, please have another look. Drmies (talk) 16:09, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, I'm incredibly sorry, I didn't look that far back in the revision history. Looks fine now, I'd say it passes GNG based on the linked sources. My search was in English, hence the lack of French sources I could find. TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 16:11, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - User:TheManInTheBlackHat, no need to apologize: quite understandable. Drmies (talk) 16:15, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - Honestly, I wouldn't have looked at the history if I hadn't seen Michael's name in the AfD. The article has had trouble for ten years and probably wouldn't gotten restored if you hadn't nomiated it for AfD. All is good. :) Mike Allen

Keep - Per the above discussion. I think what's in the article is enough to meet WP:GNG, though I can see why it was nominated since the recent activity doesn't do the previous state of the article any justice. - Aoidh (talk) 19:34, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
