Not really seeing how this possibly meets Wikipedia:Notability (people). Wikipedia is not news. ––FORMALDUDE(talk) 02:19, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. Meets GNG to significant in depth coverage by multiple reliable sources over some time. The coverage was international, both local American coverage and coverage in the UK (including a Channel 4 documentary).--Eostrix (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 07:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think the sources provide any presumptions to indicate that the subject merits its own article. Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events, and this subject was just part of a slow news cycle. WP:NOTNEWS.––FORMALDUDE(talk) 14:27, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Not news cycle, as there is coverage from 2011, coverage from 2013 (and coverage of the coverage: The Man with the 10-Stone Testicles: a triumph of gross-out TV[1]), and coverage from 2014[2]. Oh, and he was the subject of television shows in the UK and in the US (TLC: The Man with the 132-lb. Scrotum [3]).--Eostrix (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 14:42, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- I might just close this as a speedy keep if that's alright with you, Eostrix. ––FORMALDUDE(talk) 17:24, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- @FormalDude: not a problem, saves time all around, and I've done so myself (on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elaine DiMasi where I got things wrong). There are instructions at WP:CLOSEAFD (Procedure for non-administrator close (nominator withdrawal)) for the technical motions you need to make.--Eostrix (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 17:28, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
