Historian?

He is according to Neil Ferguson more an “anti-historian”[https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-history-and-anti-history].—Kriddl (talk) 21:34, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

:Even in the Joe Rogan episode, Darryl Cooper said he does not consider himself a historian. Someone changed the lead to "amateur historian" but in my opinion it would be better if he is simply described as a "history podcaster" with the article title moved to Darryl Cooper (podcaster) Squidroot2 (talk) 22:25, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Deletion

This page should NOT be deleted. Cooper has been covered by a large number of mainstream sources, news media, and other organizations outside Wikipedia. He has a popular podcast with over 160k subscribers on substack alone. His podcast appearances have received millions of views, the Tucker interview received 35 million views as of 3/26/25, his popularity is only increasing. The page in its current state still needs more content added, as it primarily focuses on his WWII views, but Cooper clearly fits the criteria for a notable person.

:You should mention your arguments in the discussion about deletion. It will likely not be read here.—Kriddl (talk) 14:07, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

:It is looking like the Keep arguments are in the majority, though it is of course WP:NOTAVOTE, but still. I suspect a decent closer will close the discussion in favor of a keep. Iljhgtn (talk) 23:21, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Citation needed on Hitler and Kristallnacht

I was not sure if the “citation needed”-tag meant that a citiationb was needed for the claim that Cooper argued that Hitler opposed the Kristallnacht, or for the claim that his argument is false. To be safe, I provided a citation for both. Kind regards, Jeff5102 (talk) 08:54, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Infobox image

There needs to be an image added to this infobox. If anyone can help find one that would be great. Iljhgtn (talk) 23:22, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Disambiguation removed

The (podcaster) disambiguation has no purpose. That needs to also be fixed after this AfD ends (assuming it ends in a "Keep" as I suspect it might). Iljhgtn (talk) 23:25, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Requested move 17 April 2025

:The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: page moved as inherently uncontroversial per WP:PRECISE, after the page protection concern was sorted out as seen below. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 21:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:Darryl Cooper (podcaster) → {{no redirect|Darryl Cooper}} – That redirect should be this primary page name and Darryl Cooper (podcaster) should be the redirect. This was discussed as part of the AfD and found no disagreement too. Disambiguation is only warranted when there is potential confusion with other similar or same named subjects, there is none here, it is just Darryl Cooper and his lonely redirect which need to trade places.

:Comment: I was originally going to carry this out as essentially an uncontroversial WP:PRECISE request, but ... seems that {{No redirect|Darryl Cooper}} has been extended confirmed protected since last year ... but Darryl Cooper (podcaster) is not protected at all. I get that this article recently survived a AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Darryl Cooper (podcaster), but now I have potential concerns this article was created due to circumnavigating page protection. (On that note, pinging the page history merger Pppery and the page protector of {{No redirect|Darryl Cooper}}, ToBeFree, in case they have any thoughts on the matter.)

:: I've almost always considered an AfD closed as keep to void any "salt evasion" concerns. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:58, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::That was kind of my thinking on this as well. I guess the question this is ... should the extended confirmed protection be moved over to the existing article? (Asking since if the WP:ROUNDROBIN move is performed, only the redirect will have the protection.) Steel1943 (talk) 21:07, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::Hello {{u|Steel1943}}, thanks for the ping. I have now copied the protection over. From my side, feel free to perform the move. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:17, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Sounds like a plan, thank you ToBeFree. Steel1943 (talk) 21:19, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
