WP:BLP of a writer and political scientist, with no evidence of reliable source coverage to properly demonstrate that he passes WP:ACADEMIC or WP:WRITER — rather, the article just asserts his existence, and sources it to a directory of his articles in a newspaper he worked for and to his own blog (both invalid primary sources) rather than to any media coverage in which he's the subject. I'm certainly willing to withdraw this if the sourcing can be properly beefed up, but he's not entitled to keep this in its present form. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 16:30, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article fails Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Criteria. The article features a lot of fluff and has absolutely no third-party sources establishing notability. . --Omnipaedista (talk) 13:46, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A search of JSTOR and Google scholar returns nothing, so he clearly fails WP:NACADEMICS. There has also been no coverage of him in independent, reliable sources to establish his notability either as a researcher or activist. Tiller54 (talk) 17:19, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete I could find only one article by him, and most of his online presence is in social media, which is clearly not a reliable source (and often tips me in the direction of "self-promoter") The content of his WP page seems to have come from a single editor, whose edits are primarily of his page.
