Not a notable person, no references to show notability and appears more or less to be a self-promotion Lord Metroid (talk) 13:00, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment it looks like the usual route to notability—significant coverage of the subject in independent reliable sources—is unlikely to bear fruit here. So I think our decision should be made on the basis of assessing the significance of Molyneux's roles: as a columnist for Lewrockwell.com, Antiwar.com and Strike The Root he has a high profile in libertarian/market anarchist circles, his podcast Freedomain radio boasts 4 million downloads and a Top 10 finish at the 2007 Podcast Awards, and he has written two books, the PublishAmerica-issued Revolutions, and a host of other self- or vanity-published works. He also wrote the short film After. Though I am not familiar with the notability conventions for podcasters and screenwriters, I can't say I'm convinced at this point. the skomorokh  13:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. No significant coverage of the subject in independent reliable sources?  No article. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:45, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, our notability guidelines for people says otherwise; WP:GNG is a sufficient, not necessary condition. the skomorokh  14:49, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak delete for the record. If you can't say anything verifiable, better not to say anything at all. the skomorokh  12:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
