Ryan Hampton (writer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)

Nominated by Oiyarbepsy with the following rationale (see request):

I've reviewed the sources listed and they are all either passing mentions, short quotes from Hampton, or the work of Hampton himself. He does not appear to meet the notability requirements. I'll add that enough sockpuppets have attempted to create articles on this person that his name made it to the title creation blacklist. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/New baba/Archive for one of the sockpuppet investigation pages.

This is a procedural nomination; I am neutral. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:13, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

• Keep Just from a quick glance for some sources, I'm finding plenty that cover his life and activities spanning years in multiple forms of publications, including the adaptation of one of his books into a TV series.

• Former Clinton aide shares story to help people struggling with addiction
• Advocates seek a say
• After speech, Obama's words echo
• No More About Us Without Us: A Conversation with Ryan Hampton
• Inside the opioid addiction crisis with ‘American Fix’ author Ryan Hampton
• Out of a fix: Former addict, author visits county jail
• Stone Village Television to Adapt Ryan Hampton’s ‘Unsettled’ as Limited Series

And that was just from a quick database search and Google search. So there's likely more to find for anyone who wants to dig deeper. Silverseren^C 06:40, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Weak keep sources are not entirely about the subject, but they have enough coverage to just get it over the notability "edge". Oaktree b (talk) 16:58, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Ones given above are ok, I'd rather these than what's used in the article to be honest. Oaktree b (talk) 16:58, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
