Indicated to be among the "least well-known of the classic 1950s contactees". Perennial political candidate, etc. I don't think we have enough independent sources to write a WP:BIO on this person. jps (talk) 16:21, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

*Delete. Locating independent reliable sources on this person has proven difficult. I saw a couple hits on Google News from local newspapers describing his UFO club, but that is insufficient to establish notability. The article certainly doesn't help by noting that he's known mostly for his obscurity. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:01, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep or maybe merge to an article on contactees? Covered in independent sources. As to their reliability, well, whether or not he was in contact with Extraterrestrials I will leave to others to decide. Certainly haveing contact with beings from Korender is a strong assertion of notability. Candleabracadabra (talk) 20:49, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * He's covered quite substantially in various books that address this type of subject matter. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:42, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, maybe I was too quick to judge them as unreliable, fringe, and/or local. I still not convinced it's a keeper, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:43, 29 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. The quote provided by the nom is (I presume) from the main source used in writing the article, UFOs and Popular Culture (ABC-CLIO). His inclusion in that book meets significant coverage in a reliable source and apparently is plenty to write the article with. Quite a few mentions in other books. He also had coverage in contemporary sources like the LA Times clippings. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 04:21, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are sufficient independent sources available to write an objective bio. LuckyLouie (talk) 22:34, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
