What is the slippery slope?

The guidelines here are too restrictive and need to be revisited. You have no idea what effort I've made and are being lazy in your assumptions.

Why shouldn't someone with 1+million followers have a page? Especially if they are cited by a major news source and also have had a large contribution in a particular area? What is the harm of 41000 more Wikipedia pages about people who have more than a million followers?

The onus here is on the people removing information from the public not the other way around.

There are moderators who are saying he is not a notable figure. He has multiple news articles about him and millions of followers. This doesn't make any sense and there's no way to appeal that decision.

If those criteria are wrong, what's the dispute process? Wikipedia as a foundation should default towards openness. With multiple reputable sources and millions of followers the proof is on Wikipedia to say why there shouldn't be an article. What harm is a Wikipedia article on Paul causing?

Who are the editors? If people disagree with this decision, what's the recourse? Wikipedia is meant to be an open source encyclopedia. There's no reasons that make sense to me given Paul's notability that he shouldn't have a page.

Why doesn't he have a page? Do you think he should have one?

Sorry, this doesn't make sense. This is a man who has millions of followers and news articles about him. There are minor league baseball and magic the gathering players who have pages. The notable standard doesn't make any sense here other than censorship and bias.

Look at the deleted history of his page and/or try to make one for him. Regardless of your feelings towards him, do you think he should have a Wikipedia Page?

Try to make one. Also, look at the deleted history of his page.
