Anthony Chandos Russell

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This looks like a self promotional autobiography. There are no substantial claims to notability and no significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. The only source in the article that directly mentions Russell and his work is a local news website. Barret (talk) 18:02, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

I have contributed to this interesting topic & it appears well substantiated & with good references. Russell's activities with the Burma Campaign UK & the NGO Rights & Humanity are relevant, current & I would imagine, be of broad appeal. They are also well documented, with references & links both ways. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Briansresearch (talk • contribs) 12:54, 21 December 2011 (UTC) — Briansresearch (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Comment No google news hits for this particular Anthony Chandos Russell (0 hits), or any combination of his names. First listed source has no actual mention of the subject of the article.  With respect, the subject may be laudable but notability does not appear to be established per WP:GNG. Syrthiss (talk) 13:04, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Delete. Not one of the references is of the standard required. The subject is clearly not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DorsetArtMan (talk • contribs) 07:13, 27 December 2011 (UTC) — DorsetArtMan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Definitely keep. Interesting material, good cross referencing, with various supporting websites and articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olbigsoul (talk • contribs) (the creator of the article)

No significant third-party sources. Three of the Web sites quoted seem to be by the author of the article. Looks like a thinly-disguised piece of self-promotion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.148.45 (talk) 09:44, 4 January 2012 (UTC) — 78.148.148.45 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

No attempt has been made to improve the quality of the sources. Not one of them is a significant third-party source. There seems to be no reason why this article should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DorsetArtMan (talk • contribs) 20:13, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

The article claims 'Russell is well known .... as the author of 'Evolving the Spirit - From Democracy to Peace'. However, according to the publisher's Web site, the book has not even been published yet! — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrookesHistory (talk • contribs) 14:49, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
