Calvin C. Girvin

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Complete and utter obscurity. The article itself admits that he is the "most obscure of the 1950s contactees". Sources generally mention him off hand in single sentences! (E.g. the Look magazine account.) Definitely fails WP:BIO. ScienceApologist (talk) 05:53, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not appear to meet criteria at WP:BIO.  Peacock (talk) 20:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

 * This article appears to be sourced to Girvin's autobiography. This is as far as I can determine the only source anywhere for anything about this person's life and works.  I couldn't find anything else that wasn't simply parrotting Girvin's own self-description with no attempt to check facts.  Ironically, the article itself proceeds to tell us that the autobiography is stated outright to be a work of fiction.  There are no independent reliable sources documenting this person's life and works in any depth.  The Primary Notability Criterion is not satisfied.  Delete.
