• Keep withdraw with apologies, there were so many hits, several interviews with him that were about him, not about a security or political topic, that I assumed a bio could be sourced. perhaps someone may do so. I couldn't.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:41, 19 June 2018 (UTC) after finding this at AFD, I ran a quick search to see who he is and quickly saw enough to persuade me that he's a notable politics and security pundit. So I figured that the page must not be sources, and went to the page to add an Interview with Buck Sexton on The Kelly File. The page already had a lot of references, enough that it would have persuaded me to just tag it for improvement and move on. I also ran a gNews search on his current gig, a show calledThe Buck Sexton Show, got a lot of solid hits [1]. Just keep it and tag for improvement.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:25, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if I'm wrong but every hit for a RS in that Google search is for op-eds authored by Buck Sexton. That's why there are so many hits. "The Buck Sexton Show" is mentioned in the author biography snippet. It's not that RS are covering him or his show. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 21:32, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

you're wrong. scroll. also, the first search I ran was a Proquest news archive search, I often start with a Proquest search on contemporary topics, because if a subject doesn't turn up there, it's unlikely to be worth bothering with. but Sexton is clearly notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:02, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I scrolled through all the pages and the hits to RS (CNN, the Hill) all look like op-eds to me. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:04, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

he's been a regular on CNN, The Hill, but you skipped stuff like The Blaze’s Buck Sexton In Explosive Exchange With Boston Suspects’ Aunt: ‘Two Terrorists: One Down, One To Go’; Newsmax's Top 50 Conservative Podcasts; iHeart Boston Moves Conservative Talkers To Bigger Stick.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:17, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

None of those links are RS. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:24, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nomination. Reads like an attempt at promotion more than anything. -The Gnome (talk) 17:23, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: based on the additional sources discovered by E.M. Gregory. These new sources combined with those extant in the article establish Notability. Great job!– Lionel^(talk) 11:14, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Does not appear to be any notable secondary coverage by reliable sources. PeterTheFourth (talk) 11:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• In addition to hosting the nationally syndicated, eponymous The Buck Sexton Show. After years as a talking head at CNN, as of this month he is co-host with Krystal Ball of new a podcast on The Hill (newspaper), called Rising [2]. WP:JOURNALIST.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:20, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• delete this article has many of the signs in WP:Identifying PR. Things like interviews are not independent and do not count toward N. There are too few sources about him to generate an article. Jytdog (talk) 21:36, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Almost all of the available sources are unreliable for Wikipedia's purposes, including for establishing notability per WP:BASIC.- MrX 🖋 17:44, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
