[edit] Jim Sinclair

Previous VfD. Does not appear to be notable. Having an "anti-cure perspective" does not make one notable. Writing an essay that is " widely distributed over the Internet" might make one notable - the problem is that the only references to it I found are on activist websites... which makes sense, since, well... he's an activist :). Around 650 google hits. [1] At worst maybe this article is finally cleaned up a bit.Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 10:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. He is vocal enough in his "anti-cure perspective" to be notable. See this link [2] in the NY Times. Pilatus 15:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Where is Jim Sinclair mentioned in the article? I can't find any mention of him.... Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 17:56, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
    • He is quoted on the second page of the article: "What they're saying is their goal is to create a world that has no people like us in it," said Jim Sinclair, who did not speak until he was 12 and whose 1993 essay "Don't Mourn for Us" serves as a touchstone for a fledgling movement." That should establish his standing, shouldn't it? Pilatus 18:05, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Thanks - that's enough for me. Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 18:35, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
