Dubious notability and promotional tone. The list of unformatted, non-inline refs includes sales sites like Amazon, self editable sources and other non-RS. Failed politician, non-notable author, not notable enough as businessman or academic  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:28, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete Just pure advertising and promotional spam, unable to find any RS on this author except buying his books. Most links are to "buy" his book on amazon, google etc. Tyros1972 Talk 08:11, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: The only thing I see that looks like notability is his involvement in (the somewhat POV account of) the St. Charles County caucus controversy. Perhaps should be regarded as at most BLP1E. And his role seems less central in an NPOV source, (Surely not a speedy candidate in any case.) —teb728 t c 08:50, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Seems to fail every notability guideline in the book. Certainly does not meet WP:POLITICIAN and I can't see that he'd meet basic WP:GNG either. Wholly promotional, so we'd be contributing to his notability rather than documenting it. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:40, 12 June 2013 (UTC)


 * DO NOT DeleteWhy should he not be noted as being the first Black Chair? That is Notable... Also, he is currently serving on USCCR. That is noteworthy, I can see some taking issue with Book Info- but there are other authors on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.211.217 (talk) 13:16, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
