Article deleted twice in the past, and I see nothing that's changed regarding coverage of this individual. Fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:23, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- DELETE This conspiracy theorist fails the WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN tests and has never been elected to any major office nor received any press coverage within the state of New Jersey other than mentions in a few editorials. This article should also be banned from re-creation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155blue (talk • contribs) 01:30, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, the second nomination appears as a no consensus at least. Boss has been the primary subject of [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] major media reports (two of which were published since the last nomination). And since that nomination, he appeared on the 2012 presidential election ballot in NJ and received over 1,000 votes.--William S. Saturn (talk) 04:49, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep He's been covered by reliable and verifiable sources that are about him and that establish his notability. Do we really want to delete an article for someone who ran for President of the United States and appeared on the ballot in New Jersey under "NSA Did 9/11" and just convince him further as to how deep the conspiracy runs?

- If you have a source for that, can you add it to the article? Gamaliel (talk) 18:07, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per William S. Saturn & Alansohn. It should be noted that the trend in recent years has been to recognize presidential candidates attaining ballot status as notable. Plus he has received coverage in RS's for his conspiracy theories as well as for his campaigns.--JayJasper (talk) 20:12, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep he is notable by virtue of being a ballot qualified presidential candidate and for being the main subject of media coverage in multiple reliable sources.--Cjv110ma (talk) 12:43, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep As discussed above, he has received quite a lot of coverage over the years - the constant attempts to delete the Jeff Boss page seem based not in Wikipedia policy, but in a distaste for Mr. Boss's POV HerbertMMarx (talk) 03:31, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep , but remove "conspiracy theorist" as inflammatory POV. I disagree with him, but dang, you may as well say "Jeff Boss is a whacko running for POTUS". May be true, but a form of poisoning the well. -- 67.183.113.3 (talk) 03:30, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, passes WP:GNG.--TM 11:51, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
