This is not a biography. I'm not sure what it is, and by its nature it isn't exactly WP:BLP1E, but it's certainly a non-public person known only for one thing. Perhaps rework as an event article, but I'm not sure what it would be called or if it would be notable enough to justify that. Rd232 ^talk 14:31, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Although it's flimsy, an interview in a 2005 book suggests persistence coverage of the person/event. Location (talk) 02:05, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The quotes in that book are from a 1994 interview with Thomas. Risker (talk) 07:11, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A chapter in a book by Paladin Press does not notability make; the publisher isn't exactly known for strict editorial control. Risker (talk) 05:46, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
