 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Not notable, no evidence of articles/stories/books about the man. Hes given lectures (that's not special, many people do this) and he's appeared on Fox (that's not special, many people do this), and is a spokesman (claimed?) for a non-profit of a small cult. I don't see the evidence of notability. Merrill Stubing (talk) 13:10, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. This article definitely has problems, including poor writing and a lack of sources in the article. Nonetheless, Binswanger's relationship with Rand is discussed in a number of sources (including The Passion of Ayn Rand, Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life, and The Ayn Rand Cult), and more recently he's been popping up as tv talking head, as even the nomination acknowledges. Does the nominator seriously argue that many non-notable people have been guests on multiple national tv news programs? --RL0919 (talk) 15:18, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Binswanger's relationship to Rand, his publications, his position within ARI, and his television appearances certainly combine to give him notability. TallNapoleon (talk) 07:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Article has more than enough 3rd party sources to establish basic notability. Sailsbystars (talk) 19:25, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Multiple claims to notability; easily meets WP:GNG. Location (talk) 21:53, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
