The result was keep. If 95% of the sources are related to a single event, then logically 5% are not, which means
WP:BLP1E no longer applies as a reason for deletion. The subject's notability has not been questioned otherwise. SoWhy 07:15, 25 August 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep A quick google search shows that there is enough coverage of him, and not just the event, to justify WP:N. Moreover, considering the continued coverage, he is not likely to remain low pro-file.

Keep - He has risen to the limelight due to BPL1E (the meeting). However subsequent coverage is on other issues as well (e.g. the 1.4 Billion USD he allegedly move for corporations per NYT, dating back to 2000). As he is connected to the whole "Russia/Trump" angle - it is unlikely that coverage of him will die out soon. Per
WP:RAPID (all be it modified for the slow-moving "Trump/Russia" angle) - it is probably best to keep and reassess notability (if it is an issue) 1-2 years from now.

Snow keep - Google shows a ton of sourcing for him; WaPo, Newsweek, NBC News, NPR, CNN, Independent, and Guardian, among others, have reported on this.

Yes, tons of sourcing, 95% of it related to the
Trump campaign–Russian meeting. He is not notable independently from this event (BLP1E). —

keep and improve -- makes sense to keep with above comment and lots of sourcing. But the article needs a lot more sources itself to back up and prove notability. — Preceding
