Note: There are current proposals to merge this article into Protest Warrior. As I understand it, the GDFL requires us to keep this article (because we need to retain the edit history) if this merge happens. Therefore, a vote to delete is a vote against that merge.

 * Keep Not just a webmaster, he's the co-founder of a political group. He was interviewed by the Newsweek magazine (here), and references about his activities are abundant from third party sources.-- Hús  ö  nd  20:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Article's history page shows this is a content dispute . --Aaron 21:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep- Why delete it? It has some interesting info.-- S U  I  T 42 00:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It is a content dispute. The decision over whether or not to merge this article with the main Protest Warrior should be made after other editors have arrived at a firm consensus position. Ruthfulbarbarity 02:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Politically motivatied AFD. --Neverborn 06:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Actually, the webmaster of the Protest Warrior website is someone else entirely.  Just to point that out.  Rogue 9 08:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Notable for cofounding Protest Warrior. Has appeared on Rush Limbaugh's show. Mainstream coverage includes The Washington Post and Newsweek . Also covered by The Washington Times, the Dallas Observer  and FrontPageMag.com . CWC (talk) 11:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Definite merge I don't care whether this is deleted or redirected, but he has no notability outside Protest Warrior (which isn't particularly notable anyway), and that article already contains almost every word in this one. This is almost wholly redundant. Derex 12:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Per the abundance of links provided by CWC. It seems as though he is famous for founding that political group and should have an article based on the fact that he himself has recieved much of the news attention. Nice work CWC, if noone does I will attempt to add all of that information into the article, or at least a mention of his news coverage as founder of the group. --Nuclear Zer0 12:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Add in some of the sources from above, if anyone wants to add more feel free, switched the external linking to cite news format and added a references section, so far 3 of the above sources in use, also added the Newsweek interview with Alfia to external links section. --Nuclear Zer0 13:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Obvious delete or merge. No notability outside the barely notable Protest Warrior. Gamaliel 22:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Wouldnt that be like arguing Bill Gates isnt notable outside of the things he has founded, Microsoft, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation etc. The fact that he was interviewed once by himself on the group, and another time with the co founder, would symbolize an importance as the leader of said group. Usually Newsweek doesnt go around interviewing people who they do not find to be notable. --Nuclear Zer0 13:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * An absurd comparison. It is pretty standard procedure to merge articles on barely notable things and their creators. Or should we undelete Dylan Avery on the basis that you suggest? Gamaliel 03:19, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That's an analogy, not a comparison. CWC (talk) 03:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Commment First of all, it's not obvious. Secondly, if press coverage from The New York Times, Washington Post, MSBNC, Fox News, as well as the most popular and third most popular talk radio hosts in the country is "barely notable" I'd love to see what your definition of extremely notable is. Ruthfulbarbarity 23:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge, as per User:Gamaliel. Keep. Travb (talk) 12:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
