James Casbolt

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems to be pretty much just a bloke-with-a-website, and a pretty odd site at that. All the current content is also sourced simply to that website, and totally unverified (and probably unverifiable). Googling his name gets quite a few hits, but mostly on other conspiracy theory sites and message boards - there does not appear to be anything in the way of serious, third party coverage in any WP:RS. Non-notable. Nickhh (talk) 13:41, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: No reliable sources that show notability per WP:BIO. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 13:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete--no sources indeed that I can find, nor any sense of reality. This looks awfully familiar--I don't recognize the name, but I remember another AfD (a few months ago, maybe?) about a similar bloke, some sort of secret agent for hire. Drmies (talk) 15:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep: But needs greatly updaying with good references. Some references are that he was interviewed by Jack Blood, Daniel Ott on The Edge, interview with John Kuhles, interviewed at the 2007 Cornwall UFO Conference. His father was also with MI6: Peter Casbolt, was also MI6 and worked with the CIA. His father’s brother was a MI-5 officer in Logistics, his name is Brian Casbolt. His grandfather was also a high-ranking freemason and the whole family were Mormons. My Grandfather was involved in naval intelligence in the Second World War.  His name was James Casbolt. He was also a high-ranking member of the Sindlesham Grand Masonic lodge in Berkshire. He was a Zionist Jew and also heavily involved with Rupert Murdoch and ran his own printing company after the war. His stepfather, Neil Pettet, was a high level executive of an aluminium metal company called Hi-Mets (now called Service Metals). He also has a relation called Charles Casbolt.  Charles had so many kills during dogfights in the RAF during the time of the Second World War, there is a war hero website dedicated to him on the internet.  Google “Charles Casbolt” to see this.
 * Comment: The problem is that even if all this were true and properly sourced, it doesn't make for notability. He's been interviewed in a few fringe sources and at fringe events? Other members of his family had jobs, were members of churches and organisations and did some things? Apologies, I am not intending to come across as sarcastic, but we need to show that this person has genuine notability, per WP rules. --Nickhh (talk) 08:41, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed Nickhh. But i'll research this and update rather than put things for deletion and potentially lose something that could be good. It may not be and well be deleted, far enough. But rather than put it upfor deletion we should be researching and sourcing these things. Arguinig for keeps and deleted takes time away from making a good Wiki article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthur Warrington Thomas (talk • contribs) 19:53, December 5, 2008
