Nominating for procedural reasons, I know the article is well sourced but I am not sure it meets WIKI:GNG or WIKI:BIO.--IMR2000 (talk) 15:04, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Leaning delete. My main concern here is WP:BLP1E: Barter seems to be an otherwise-low-profile person who's been in the news solely because of his involvement in a fairly minor controversy, which is exactly the situation in which BLP1E kicks in. I suppose restructuring this as an article about the event is a possible alternative to deletion, but since even the event's notability is uncertain (per WP:PERSISTENCE, WP:NOTNEWS, etc.) my instinct would be to delete outright.

 * Delete as WP:BLP1E. If Kenneth J. Harvey's documentary film gets over WP:NFILM when it comes out, then a bit of information about Barter would naturally be includable as part of that, but this isn't really claiming any credible reason why Barter would pass the ten year test for enduring international significance as a person.
