the books are self published. the references seem to be mainly interviews with him promoting his own work, or essays reprinting the contents of it. Possible G11, considering the tele-tale signs of as many related articles as possible, and listings of  multiple repetitive material, including all his articles,    but I'd like a community opinion  DGG ( talk ) 19:05, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete, I'm going through the supposed published works, but none of them seem to be in notable publications. If I find anything notable I may change my mind, but I doubt this subject meets our notability requirements. Looks like promotion. Yworo (talk) 19:15, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak keep, there do seem to be half-a-dozen third-party refs of various qualities which range from mentioning him to a full in-depth interview. These need to be used to support the Professional background section. Unless there is a problem with these refs, he seems to be marginally notable. Yworo (talk) 20:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * delete no coverage in reliable sources at all, other than (barely, possibly, sometimes reliable) the huffington post.  the rest is self-generated publicity, and we don't need to assist him in his efforts to generate more. &mdash; Alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 20:35, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Needs better referencing. However, sounds notable to me as founder of Worldview Thinking and apparent influence. Snowman (talk) 21:39, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * but what makes you judge Worldview Thinking to be notable or even important? Who is he supposed to have influenced, and are there any sources for it?   DGG ( talk ) 04:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

 Delete No reliable sources, non-notable article.--Cox wasan (talk) 09:16, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete has not "received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" (WP:BIO). I found no relevant results from Google News, and the huffington post blog-type piece cannot be considered significant coverage. There was a self-published press release which stated JMR would speak at the GreenGov symposium, which lent some notability but I was unable to find any mention of him on the whitehouse site  Jebus989 ✰ 18:59, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
