It's not clear to me that this person is notable. Appears not to meet any requirement of WP:AUTHOR. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:27, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

I disagree with what is being said by user:Justlettersandnumbers Caleb Maupin is a political analyst and activist, not merely a writer. WP: Author is not the proper category. He frequently appears on various television networks. He is one of the most well-known and active Communists in the US at this time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.150.62.36 (talk) 22:57, 17 December 2014 (UTC) — 157.150.62.36 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Caleb Maupin is a reporter for Russia today and press tv. He is very important as he has made an imprint in the journalist community. After all, he has made it to two big site for journalism, even making it on Russia Today's broadcasts numerous times.

 * Weak keep He is interviewed frequently. It's hard to tell what the references are because they are not properly formed. I will try to get time to add publishers and dates to them so it's easier to see what is cited. LaMona (talk) 17:51, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Following up, the entire article has been created and edited by 3 single purpose accounts, which does not bode well. Most of the references are in local, not national, papers, but I will continue fixing them so that we can get a better look. Oddly, despite the SPAs (who probably at least know him personally) we have no date nor place of birth, and little background information. Such information could come from a non-third-party site, but I don't find this information even on Maupin's own sites. LaMona (talk) 21:01, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep As a rising member of the Workers World Party, I don't see how he is any less notable than other WWP members who have their own wiki pages. His notability is further enhanced IMO by his prolific media appearances, particularly on RT.--C.J. Griffin (talk) 14:32, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The keep arguments above are mostly invalid (being interviewed doesn't make one notable, nor does being a "rising member" of a fringe party), but this article in Cleveland Scene represents significant coverage in a reliable source, per WP:GNG. Pburka (talk) 23:21, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
