WP:BIO and its subset WP:JOURNALIST require for a journalist's minimum notability threshold that they are "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" as backed by sufficient third party source reporting as required by WP:NRV. While Knowles has scattered mentions through various news events he has been through over the years it isn't clear that he, in fact it doesn't seem like he, meets the third-party sourced notability requirements that were not "not a mere short-term interest" as described in WP:NRV and WP:NTEMP. - 2601:5C2:4380:6380:FDCD:863B:69D2:EBF1 ( talk) 23:29, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
When he was sprayed with lavender oil, he was giving an "anti-transgender" speech per RS, and the article should reflect that. Snooganssnoogans ( talk) 23:08, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
why is the word genocidal not in quotations? it is a word she used verbatim. no use of the quotations gives the impression that the description is objectively accurate. 2001:1970:5117:3200:0:0:0:39BD ( talk) 03:34, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: NOT MOVED. Consensus is that there remains no primary topic. Hadal ( talk) 20:35, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

remove the line "Knowles is also known to hate trans people and has previously called for a genocide against them" -reason being defamation of character. 64.56.11.249 ( talk) 19:39, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
The Wikipedia entry uses the term “transgenderism” which is not a neutral term. It makes it into an ideology. I would use “trans persons” if possible. Otherwise, it elides the people involved behind a recent, polemical neologism 104.138.241.114 ( talk) 18:18, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
They just don't believe it is possible for a human to be inherently transgender (and to be clear, they believe it is possible for someone to believe they are trans which is why they refer to it as a mental illness).
Knowles made legal threats to media outlets which reported that he was calling for the eradication of transgender people or the transgender community, stating that the outlets were being were libelous, and that he was referring to "transgenderism" as an ideology; critics considered the distinction to be meaningless.
critics considered the distinction to be meaninglessinto a sentence (with quotes from named critics) to make it clearer that what he said is meaningless transphobia. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 15:07, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
A large part of this article is based Knowles’s own YouTube videos which are primary sources. This violates WP:PRIMARY and WP:RS. Should we remove this content and replace it with reliable secondary sources? SKAG123 ( talk) 16:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

The featured image of Michael Knowles in 2024 is obviously AI generated. If you compare the image to the 2021 one featured only months ago, it's not even the same person.
I suggest either reverting back to the 2021 picture, or taking a screenshot from his show or YAF speech. Voxelized Prismatic ( talk) 14:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
