"mostly known for his lavish lifestyle" Remarkable number of BLP violation. The principle here is NOT TABLOID. Article originated by now-banned sockmaster. DGG ( talk ) 00:38, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It was editi zillion times after origination. Staszek Lem (talk) 01:04, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
<sigh> keep. There are hundreds if not thousands of famous for being famous socialites on wikipedia. IMO meets GNG for non-trivial life events. If it were for me I'd deleted them all poker players and Kardashians. But obviously these are modern heroes of dumb masses fed by mass media. Staszek Lem (talk) 01:03, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The fundamental principle is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia . we do have articles on opeople who arenotable for getting publicity, band assorted socialites, but the combination of relatively minor coverage and total puffery makes this the most extreme of them all.

Delete per WP:NOT, tabloid being one of them. The individual has not accomplished anything significant. Article consists of trivia such as: "In February 2015, Bilzerian pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of "negligently failing to extinguish a fire in the open" and was fined $17,231.50" Etc. Sources are not suitable for establishing notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:22, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete His only fame seem to be his social media popularity. I do not think it is enough. Expertwikiguy (talk) 02:37, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. One of the most famous media personalities in the world - proved not only by 15 Wikipedia articles in other languages but also by record-breaking number of followers on Instagram and Facebook (thus his nickname) as well as daily coverage in the press and on television internationally. A few users' opinion about his relevance here shouldn't compromise the fact that Bilzerian is way too overqualified for all WP:BLP requirements. Shalom11111 (talk) 13:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While this article has some fluff, it does have enough events that add notability to the guy.--Frmorrison (talk) 17:15, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Ultra fluffy and lacking in encyclopaedic value. Most of the content is negative and unless there is opposing positrive coverage then this is too insignificant a person for such unflattering coverage. Spartaz ^Humbug! 06:20, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this is tabloid fluff, supported by other tabloid fluff. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 06:32, 18 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Keep Unsavory as his character is, he passes WP:GNG [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Even if he's done stuff we don't deem important, the media finds interest in him. -Indy beetle (talk) 07:55, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He's a clown, but a notable one with lots of press coverage for his buffoonery. We can't have only Albert Schweitzer and Pope John Paul II articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:12, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per references provided by Indy beetle above, topic meets GNG requirements. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:41, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
