- Hi there. I don't think the argument that "nobody has provided reliable sources for a long time, so the article has to be deleted, no matter what evidence is provided during the discussion" can be described as a revenge argument. The only evidence that was provided during the discussion (along with lots of people saying 'of course he is notable') was the Who's Who entry. The existence of this entry was referred to, but no use of it was made in the article: at the end of the day articles stand or fall on the references in them: no reliable sources, no notability. The article had been crying out for references for months: if all those desperate to keep it could not find and insert one reference in the final week of the AfD discussion (despite their assertions that such references existed a-plenty) then in the final analysis it deserves its fate. Why didn't you insert the citation into the article? I said it was a shame because he sounds like a real American eccentric: I'm always delighted to read articles about his ilk, and I'm surprised that no reliable magazine or newspaper hasn't run a feature on him, even a debunking one. But perhaps this is telling with regard to his notability. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 19:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
