The result was delete. I'll have the honors on this one. The reason for my decision is that no likely improvements are to be made, besides the fact that this discussion has ensued for over a month. I hold no prejudice toward recreation on the condition that appropriate verifiable sourcing is found. Sr 13 05:55, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is poorly written, isn't sourced, and he fails WP:BIO. Delete GreenJoe 15:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete he's nn based on his political career; and his books are nn, too. Spring break with Melanie Nuntia ranks 4,047,668 at Amazon.com; Reptilian Aliens A Book of Memes is ranked 1,537,157; and the others aren't even ranked at Amazon.com. There is no assertion of notability; being on some bookclub's lukewarm review receipts list doesn't confer notability. Carlossuarez46 22:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Green Party Black Caucus Co-chair, published author. Poorly written and lack of sources are grounds for rewrite and sourcing, not deletion.--killing sparrows ^(chirp!) 05:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge political parts of article to Green Party of Texas. If sources indicating notability beyond that come along later (since his literary career appears non-notable currently), the article is free to be restarted. SnowFire 00:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone going to close this? Relisting, I guess. SnowFire 21:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - when I first looked at this one, I was on the fence. However, no improvement seems to be happening, and it's been relisted 3 (!) times, which pushes me slightly towards delete, since no one seems likely to work on it. No strong prejudice against recreation though. Charlie-talk to me-what I've done 22:12, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
