The result was speedy delete. The text was copied and pasted from the subject's own autobiography on the subject's own WWW site, by two accounts one of which has a name that closely resembles the subject's own WWW site, and then someone else who clearly had views about the subject added several personal observations. There's no sense in wasting any more time on this. It's inappropriate in a whole bunch of ways, and none of this entire edit history is suitable for use in a proper encyclopaedia article, which would need to blank everything here and start from scratch.

Very resume-like and filled with puffery. Likely COI editing. All sources are either non-independent or primary. The best source is this interview with NPR, but, once again, is a primary source and does not contribute to notability. Appears to fail WP:NAUTHOR too.

 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Also, "Charles D. Hayes is an unabashed liberal who professes to being a self-taught philosopher and one of America’s strongest advocates for lifelong learning." That's just...rough. KidAd  •  SPEAK  01:35, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
