Non-notable subject, unsourced, possibly inaccurate Stonemason89 (talk) 13:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I nominated this article for deletion because it:

1. Does not provide proof of notability.

2. Is woefully lacking in reliable sources.

3. As one user pointed out on this article's talk page, this article apparently misrepresents the subject's actual views. Stonemason89 (talk) 13:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

4. The article is orphaned.

5. The article was founded nearly two years ago, and in that time issues 1-4 have remained unaddressed. If the subject were actually notable, one would think that editors would have paid more attention to this article during that time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stonemason89 (talk • contribs) 01:24, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * commentI appologize for the argument I made before as I got the subject mixed up with another Robert Whitaker:) but I do believe that the reason given in number 3. is a bit POV and would discourage arguments about whether or not a subject falls within the "mainstream". I will support deletion upon lack of sources as i can not find many myself, but that's not to say they aren't there. Mrathel (talk) 14:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your feedback; I've reworded argument #3 to make it look NPOV. I still highly doubt that this man is notable, though. Stonemason89 (talk) 15:22, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete A quick Google search provides no sources for the author, other than his own website. However, in the same search sources are provided for his book(s). Mr.TrustWorthy Got Something to Tell Me?  23:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
