Self-Promotional, and not-notable outside of the "burning man community" and his own promotional affairs. Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 14:14, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. He's gotten a fair amount of coverage (as a GNews search will reflect)[1] and while much of it was for an unsuccessful mayoral run, e.g.[2] that's not all, e.g.[3][4]. I tend to think he qualifies as a notable activist/eccentric. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:43, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not pass GNG. Unsuccessful mayoral run does not meet wiki standards. Hillabear10 (talk) 17:13, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:POLITICIAN would suggest notability criteria is not met. On another note, the template on the page does not link to this AFD for some reason... Cheers, Zaldax (talk) 19:15, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete has not received enough significant coverage in reliable independent sources to warrant a page. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 01:54, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
