This soldier/activist/rapper simply doesn't seem notable enough to me. It also feels like it was probably written by either the person himself or the students who "look up to him." Delete. --Nlu (talk) 14:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge to IVAW. Has coverage as member of IAVW in Aljazeera, KALW news (KALW is a blog but looks like its related to San Francisco Chronicle - not sure). Also has a couple of standalone interviews, one with Aljazeera again and a couple of anarchist magazines e.g. here. Not sure there's enough here for an article but worth a mention.

 * Comment: KALW is actually a public radio station. Their blog is hosted by SFGate, which is the website of the San Francisco Chronicle (sort of; it's complicated). &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 18:27, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Thanks for the info, the website was a bit complicated to figure out! Acb314 (talk) 22:45, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete I can't find substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. I found something about a group named 40 Thieves, but it appears totally distinct from this individual. Candleabracadabra (talk) 23:26, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Coverage is minimal, and I am troubled by the inclusion of unsourced claims like details of past drug use; seems like a BLP problem. I don't prefer a Redirect/Merge because his role in IVAW seems to be a small one, too small to merit mention in that organization's article or even on the organization's own web page. --MelanieN (talk) 00:12, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
