Article was nominated for CSD in December 2009 but was inappropriately removed by author (I don't think it would have qualified for CSD anyways). Article was prodded by Cassandra 73 (talk · contribs) with the rationale "Does not meet WP:GNG. "State-wide notoriety" claim is not supported." I was going to endorse prod but the comment left by the author, though nearly 2 months old, indicates to me that deletion may not be uncontroversial.

For my part I agree with the original nomination and the talk page comment indicates to me that the author's intent is to use Wikipedia for advocacy purposes; therefore, my opinion is delete. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 18:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The "state-wide notoriety" wording was the only reason I didn't tag it A7 as it is a claim of significance although there's nothing to back this up, even the two sources cited for this paragraph don't mention him. Cassandra 73 (talk) 18:42, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. I read A7 broadly enough to cover this spam. THF (talk) 14:54, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
