WP:BLP of an activist, relying almost entirely on primary (self-penned content and/or the websites of organizations he's directly involved in) and unreliable (WordPress blogs) sources; the only publication that can possibly count as an acceptable source here is Huffington Post, and even that reference is to a blurb. No prejudice against recreation in the future if good sources can be provided, but primary and blog sourcing is never the way to get somebody into an encyclopedia. Delete.

 * I added a couple more sources. I will try to find more, and encourage others to. He's an important figure in bisexual activism, so it would be nice to be able to have an article on him. 173.49.70.61 (talk) 22:08, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You may need to learn about the difference between a reliable source and a primary source if you think you "added" anything that improves the quality of sourcing at all. Bearcat (talk) 01:14, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Sources do not establish notability sufficiently. Becky Sayles (talk) 18:27, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete: Given the generally supportive stance of the US press to LGBT issues and causes, the lack of RS in this individual's case is indicative of non-notability.--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 07:48, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
