Fails our WP:BIO notability rules especially those governing WP:AUTHOR. Being referenced by others is not enough to confer notability. In order to be notable, you must actually be the subject of a serious reference work. Appearing on Coast to Coast is also not a signal of notability (lots of non-notable people are guests on that show). Furthermore, he is not notable for his book which would not pass WP:BK in any case. jps ( talk) 13:52, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - this subject does not seeem to have had any significant mainstream coverage. I don't think a bunch of guest appearances on fringe media add up to any significant notability. -- Salimfadhley ( talk) 14:19, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

- Delete for now perhaps as although Books, Highbeam and browsers all found several links, I would suggest drafting and userfying until better is available. SwisterTwister talk 08:12, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - Fails GNG. Sources on article have originating place hidden, and they don't add up to anything real. Can't see him ever meeting it without a big change. Didn't find reliable sources for book or blog which would have earned one of them an article instead. {Please note it's Skeptiko, not Skeptico, podcast. Two podcasts with similar names but a completely different outlook. That's got to be a mess.) DreamGuy ( talk) 15:20, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

- Delete fails to meet the notability criteria for fringe theorists. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 06:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Individual fails WP:AUTHOR, the book fails WP:BK, and the podcast fails WP:WEB. His few passing mentions in reliable sources don't warrant a standalone article, though he may qualify for inclusion in a list article, although I don't know which one. - LuckyLouie ( talk) 04:11, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
