The result was no consensus. This is a classic debate of people on one side saying, "there's enough references to establish notability", and people on the other side saying, "no there's not". -- RoySmith (talk) 19:53, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is this person really notable? He has written 2 books but I don't feel he meets WP:AUTHOR or WP:SOLDIER Gbawden (talk) 10:51, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I restored the Washington Post source previously deleted without explanation, and added refs that were found in previous AfDs but never made it into the article. -- GreenC 19:38, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Still not enough here to establish that this person is notable. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:39, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Coverage does not appear to be substantial enough to warrant an article.--Pink Bull 19:33, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep lots of coverage in reliable sources. Antrocent (♫♬) 20:30, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Washington Post [1] says he has been interviews on CNN, Greta Van Susteren's talk show, and that months before Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly interviewed him. So he meets the WP:GNG clearly from that. Dream Focus 22:38, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources provided here and to the article. –Davey2010 • (talk) 15:20, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I checked the sources and it seems this fellow is an imposter who was found out early on when he started selling a book. He appears to have lost all credibility at that point. Since then, he's not been covered. If anything it seems that makes him known for WP:one event. He's not even notable as an imposter. SW3 5DL (talk) 16:33, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is not temporary. And this isn't a single event, he was interviewed months apart. Dream Focus 22:30, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Somewhat reluctant keep. Three authored books, some with serious reviews, a news article and a statement by the US Government make this guy notable. The WP article relies too heavily on the OC Weekly piece by Coker and would benefit from more research into the other sources. Whether Bucchi is an impostor or not does not matter; Wikipedia has plenty of articles on impostors. This looks like another case of "AFD is not cleanup". (None of this speaks to the reliability of this guy's claims of experience.) - tucoxn\^talk 22:33, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
