No comment on the notability or otherwise of this individual, but describing someone from Canada as 'openly gay' in 2023 seems rather anachronistic, if not just silly. He's gay. Lots of people are. As a normal part of living a normal life, in a society that (on the whole) considers it normal. Or at least normal-ish. If there is any evidence that McCullough gayness is significantly more 'open' than that of anyone else, tell us why. Or just describe him as gay. If it actually matters at all, which is perhaps questionable. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:03, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I noted in the comment that accompanied my review, we're not looking for sources in which he's doing the speaking, whether about himself or something else — we're looking for sources in which he is the subject that is being spoken about in an analytical manner by other people. So you can't use interviews with J.J. McCullough as support for notability — you have to use sources in which he's being written about in the third person by somebody other than himself. But the only sources you've used which meet that standard are all covering him in the context of a single incident of controversy, thus making him just a WP:BLP1E, and not the subject of sufficiently significant or sustained coverage to pass WP:GNG, if that's all that can be found.

Per these edit summaries, [1] I think we need to discuss the source at WP:RSN, since it appears to me to be self published and the work of a single individual. I'll start a discussion there later. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:53, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Incidentally, the source cited wouldn't fully support the text it was being cited for, even if accepted as WP:RS. It says that McCullough "graduated from Simon Fraser University" but makes no mention of "a degree in political science and history", or similar.
