The article has some sources, but the largest part is unsourced. It's also questionable whether two reports in local newspapers merit encyclopedic relevance for this " environmentalist, artist, and entrepreneur". Main contributor is a single-purpose account, probably in a conflict of interest. bender235 (talk) 16:14, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - THIS ARTICLE in the Thousand Oaks Acorn should be enough to get reeeeeeeeeeal close to satisfying the General Notability Guideline all by itself. I'll assume that dribs and drabs of additional third party coverage exist related to individual's political position. This article seems self-written and self-congratulatory, but that's fixable through the normal editing process. It's already flagged like crazy, which is fine.

 * Delete - Upon further review, there seems to be jack out there beyond the article cited above. There may well be a day in the not-too-distant future when this individual meets GNG, but right now he does not, in my estimation. The neurotoxic, self-written tone of the piece is the tipper for me. Delete without prejudice to future recreation in the event that additional third-party material appears. But write it from scratch in Wikipedia style next time...
