nonnotable BLP, local organizer. No available sources about the subject, reads as biographical copy. Thargor Orlando (talk) 19:29, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Chris Crass is presumed to be notable, because he has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. Current Editor (talk) 17:41, 5 August 2013 (CST)

 * Delete - Reads as BIO. Most hits of his names are mentions that he was present during certain events.  A couple of websites seem to talk a little about him, however they don't seem to be any RS or pieces extensively discussing him.  Rather the events he's a part of seem to be what is notable.  Caffeyw (talk) 11:57, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - As per previous AfDs, subject has multiple, independent and reliable sources as cited. Meets WP:GNG. CooperDB (talk) 13:15, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Where are these sources specifically? The three listed above are not reliable for our purposes.  There does not appear to be any evidence to support this claim that he meets our standards. Thargor Orlando (talk) 01:58, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * There are multiple hits on google covering mentioning his writings, book readings and activism (including a Salon piece) as well as a couple citations in academic works. While most only go into surface detail regarding the subject, together they are sufficient to meet WP:BASIC in my estimation. There is also a large amount of commentary on the subject and his books from the activist press listed at his publisher's website further supporting notability. CooperDB (talk) 14:14, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - If he is consistently quoted by media outlets when he attends notable events, people will naturally wonder who he is and Wikipedia should provide an answer. Just my two cents.  Current Editor (talk) 13:37, 19 August 2013 (CST)
 * Delete This guy is a run-of-the mill writer and minor activist. He has not done anything notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:01, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:BIO with multiple sources demonstrating notability. As an author and activist, his involvement with social justice issues has been far more extensive than a that of a "local organizer" and any issues with tone can be addressed through editing.
