Does not meet wikipedia's notability requirement. No significant independent coverage of the individual. Sources used only briefly discuss or simply name the subject. William S. Saturn (talk) 01:15, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep noted activist and former candidate for Vice President. He was extensively interviewed by RT cable network as well as extensively mentioned for his anti-war and social justice activism.--TM 01:17, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Being the vice presidential nominee of a minor party does not by itself satisfy the notability requirement. WP:N says "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." The subject has only received trivial mentions in independent sources.--William S. Saturn (talk) 01:29, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I am well aware of WP:BIO and WP:POLITICIAN. He is not notable because of his VP candidacy, but it is a contribution factor. He is mentioned and quoted extensively. His interview on RT is also an example of in-depth coverage by a RS.--TM 01:44, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but one source is not enough. There should be "multiple" sources.--William S. Saturn (talk) 01:49, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep – Per WP:BASIC, (within Wikipedia:Notability (people)) "...multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability...".

 * Keep - Meets WP:BASIC, per sources cited by Northamerica1000.--JayJasper (talk) 18:37, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep No reliable source seems to have even noticed his minor-party candidacy for Vice President, but he has received significant notice in multiple highly regarded sources for his activism. --MelanieN (talk) 22:10, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
