This guy is supposedly a gay right's activist yet he ran as a Republican for president. Sure sounds like a HOAX to me. i'm guessing the sources were fabricated to create this article. Peanutbutteranchovy (talk) 14:15, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * STRONG KEEP. "Guessing" has no place in the AfD process. Besides, the nom is full of weasel words ("supposedly", "sure sounds", "guessing") and cites no pertinent WP:GUIDELINES.Shearonink (talk) 16:15, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Can we just WP:SNOWBALL close this nonsense attack? --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:17, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The nominating editor is a suspected (read: 99% sure) sockpuppet of a guy who was coming in here and "blocking" people by adding templates to their pages. See Sockpuppet investigations/Cowfers. This can be closed. The editor needs to be blocked. Big time. -- Man way  21:25, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Snowball keep, zero evidence anything from this article is a hoax. Insomesia (talk) 12:18, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be notable by even the strictest standards.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:02, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - This nomination is an act of bitterness and resentment toward gay Republicans. --George Ho (talk) 23:30, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, not a real nomination. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 15:40, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Pertinent case for AfD not stated. Appears notable. AuthorAuthor (talk) 21:18, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - The stats/vote counter for this AfD is for Steve Able and not Fred Karger. AuthorAuthor (talk) 21:22, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm calling WP:SNOWBALL and, to avoid wasting admin time and the time of any other editors who might see the notice and waste their time coming to this discussion, WP:IAR, and deleting the AFD notice from the article so it's not pointlessly branded. --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:52, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
