Promotional article.
WP:REFBOMBed, but no evidence of notability under
WP:JOURNALIST or
WP:GNG, despite talk page discussion. Fails to meet any of the prongs of
WP:JOURNALIST. In a
WP:BEFORE, no independent third-party sources found that are actually about the subject in sufficient detail for a BLP, rather than passing mentions or material by the subject. In the talk page discussion, the creator has failed to engage with the notability issues at all, lists extensive claims of notability-by-association, and added numerous sources to the article that didn't even mention the subject and broached multiple criteria of
WP:REFBOMB. Even unreliable sources don't show a lot of mentions of "Vince Coglianese". Suggest deletion, or redirect to
The Daily Caller.

Speedy Keep: Purely promotional material does not include numerous verifiable, secondary sources, especially not those which are negative on the subject. Promotional material does not typically include a section on controversy the subject has caused. The editor who has tagged and retagged this article has been unnecessarily provocative throughout, without any indication he particular cares what changes are made to the article. Such provocation and tags have been responded to with information at the talk page and improvements/changes to the article as indicated. As the subject is not classified as a journalist, rather a radio talk show co-host, journalist notability requirements should not apply. As for general notability guidelines, the coverage is certainly significant from numerous reliable, secondary sources, independent of the subject. The subject is notable enough for the current U.S. president to sit with him (at least twice) for interviews to discuss policy, as well as high-ranking members of the president's cabinet. He is notable enough to be asked to appear on the Tucker Carlson show, which has risen to the most-watched on cable television, as well as other prominent news shows. He is notable enough to be asked to speak and appear on panels at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, and he is notable enough to be mentioned in the Heavy Hundred list of radio talk show hosts nationwide. His co-host, host who moved to afternoon from his timeslot, and host who comes in right after his show all have approved articles on Wikipedia. Other charges in the above paragraph are simply false and do not, for this reason, merit a response.--

The claims above are belied by reading the talk page discussion. If
WP:JOURNALIST is not appropriate, then he needs to meet
WP:GNG - but, per talk, he doesn't do that either. Rather than attacking another editor, you need to find independent third-party sources found that are actually about the subject in sufficient detail for a BLP, and clearly demonstrate notability. This is not a complicated criterion -
