Does anybody know what's going on with him?

There hasn't been a single peep out of him for months now. His website is down, his podcast is down, I wonder whether or not he's still alive. Does someone who is more in the weeds with the guy know more? --ElNuevoEinstein (talk) 12:22, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Cantwell is not a Men's Rights Activist, Do not spread misinformation on Wikipedia 2806:370:47C2:F864:C812:B6FF:FEE4:73E9 (talk) 14:32, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Cantwell is not a Men's Rights Activist,

Do not spread misinformation on Wikipedia 2806:370:47C2:F864:C812:B6FF:FEE4:73E9 (talk) 14:33, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article states, with a citation, "He has written for and republished essays about the men's rights movement to A Voice for Men, a men's rights and antifeminist website." That would seem to qualify him to be categorized as a men's rights activist. 331dot (talk) 14:48, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is the point of this article?

I am really confused as to why anyone ever felt this guy needed to have an article on Wikipedia. 0 notoriety within the wider movement he is meant to be a face of or even any notoriety at all, known for exactly a single thing he did at a protest in 2017 (joined by thousands of other people, most of whom don't have strangely obsessive articles written about them), all around a complete nobody. Is the point of the article to frame him as hypocritical by acting tough in a Vice article but crying at the prospect of getting arrested? There seem to be people who consciously monitor this guy even now, in 2025, despite his entire page being built around what amounts to 5 seconds of fame, which I find about equally puzzling.

Seriously, this should be deleted. Make him a section in the Unite the Right rally page if you want, but this person obviously does not warrant an article of his own. Deldels (talk) 21:09, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that you can make a case, preferably based in Wikipedia policy, that this article should be deleted, you are free to start a formal deletion discussion. 331dot (talk) 22:02, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
