Keep

1. No, actual news in the UK - David Gerard (talk) 12:08, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
2. I'm withdrawing my vote to delete based on recent additions to the article linking him to the far right. Bongolian (talk) 17:28, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

1. Let's give the creator a bit of time to salvage it, shall we? $Spriggina$ $(talk)$ $(contribs)$ @ 03:40, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
2. It's missional and since the event Dankula has spoken at far-right events and received support from the likes of Lauren Southern and Jordan Peterson, so he may be able to parlay this incident into wider nutty alt-right celebrityhood.[1][2][3] Or he may vanish. Maybe we should wait a bit? Certainly there is more to be said about the court case and his supporters. --Gospatric (talk) 09:32, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
3. This was not just YouTube drama. This was really big news in the UK a few months ago. BBC Radio 5 Live pretty much dedicated an entire afternoon to discussing it. And I remember thinking that it was prime RW stuff while listening to it. Mind you, several recently deleted pages have been about people whose names were in the headlines 3 or 4 years ago and who have now been completely forgotten. And it looks like Mark Meechan is just another person whose had his 15 minutes of infamy and won't get it again. Spud (talk) 13:23, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
