Another non-notable anti-cult person. This person has no inherent notability, and does not pass the GNG--the sourcing is simply not there. He published a few articles, most of which not in academically sound journals, and "books" is really just a chapter in an edited collection. Drmies (talk) 03:26, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete due to lack of proper sourcing. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:56, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable independent secondary sources. Fails to meet the requirements of any of our notability guidelines by a wide mile. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 02:08, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. For what it's worth, thousands of people lobby or testify annually before the New York State Legislature, including yours truly. Bearian (talk) 19:14, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The only secondary source seems to be a mere mention in one book. He does not meet WP's definition of notability. BayShrimp (talk) 13:08, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete being a guest on the Sally Jesse Raphael show, and Geraldo, apparently as an "anti-cult expert" or "activist" does not confer notability. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:05, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
