I was going to trim it, but there is no trimming it. I do not believe that this person needs a Wikipedia article. None of his positions make him inherently notable, and the best of the sources I can find (this) only speak to tax fraud--the article is for a large part an attempt to set the record straight, albeit an attempt full of unverified stuff and argumentative writing. I think this BLP should go. Drmies (talk) 03:10, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found a couple of local sources mentioning him in the context of his Congressional runs, but nothing that amounts to significant coverage. Google reveals absolutely no independent sources covering his books[1][2][3], etc. Have they even been published? If he's written them, but not had them published, they don't contribute to notability, obviously. Dawn Bard (talk) 18:06, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete these books appear to have been published / distributed, as per WorldCat. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:37, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
