Completely unable to find WP:RS refs for this person via Google or Google News (though there are some spanish-language sources, I do not know how to read spanish), though plenty of youtube videos, Alex Jones, Prison Planet, et al.

I would note that the sole RS-esque reference in the article itself was on the op-ed page of the Seattle Times, so non-RS as I understand it. [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ] #_ 03:45, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Furthermore, the previous AfD relied on "number of google hits" as a metric of notoriety. WP:BIO states: "Avoid criteria based on search engine statistics (e.g., Google hits or Alexa ranking), or measuring the number of photos published online." though it may not have at the time of the previous AfD.

He does not appear to me to be an academic (which to me means that RS are required to establish notability, as that is one of the primary exceptions to the availability of secondary sources on a person)

 * Keep receives a biography here in one of the main Spanish newspapers. Another interview here in another Spanish newspaper where he's cited as having international fame due to a bestselling book. An article here in the same newspaper, covering his views. Covered here through a meeting with Fidel Castro. Cited here in the Guardian as "one of the more famous Bilderberg documentarians." Some coverage here seeming to establish him as a major conspiracy theorist. All in all, he seems to have attracted enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Valenciano (talk) 06:44, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
