 * Queried speedy delete: At 22:41, 14 March 2017‎ User:Diannaa speedy-delete-tagged page Marc A. Levin as copyvio of, but I have received an email that says "Please look at the link to the .pdf you cited as justification for unambiguous copyright infringement, you'll see it was written by Marc A. Levin in his capacity as Director, Right on Crime. The Texas Public Policy Foundation, a non-profit think tank that operates Right on Crime, published the paper which justnet.org published online. ".

 * Comment: I think I have addressed the copyright issues. There may still be a notability issue here, but at least it no longer appears to be a blatant copyvio. Marquardtika (talk) 16:29, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I am satisfied that the copyright issue has been resolved and have done some revision deletion. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:23, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete I think notability is close with the Politico and Mother Jones links, but still not quite there. If there are more external sources, I'd probably change my mind. I did a quick search and it was mostly another Marc Levin known for political things. South Nashua (talk) 00:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Started sourcing him, there's more to add, but I think his role as founder and head of Right on Crime makes him notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:57, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
