  • Delete - Alexander Horn is a virtually unknown playwriter with no relevance to Wikipedia Mfantoni 08:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - He is referenced on the Fellowship of Friends page and is an author. His books were published by Element Books, an established New Age/esoteric publisher. Waspidistra 09:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - This article is tagged for deletion as part of an ongoing edit dispute and COI dispute on the Fellowship of Friends page, it's deletion should be viewed as vandalismWantthetruth? 17:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - There are debates on the fof page on whether Alex Horn's biography is relevant to the fof article, so having this article as the place for that kind of info would help end the disputes. Aeuio 20:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Worth keeping on its own merits; disputes elsewhere should be irrelevant.--Bedivere 21:36, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Since Robert Burton abandoned him as a teacher, it would be useful to know why. Baby Dove 06:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - There's nothing in this article that passes WP:N. Torc2 07:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Agree with Torc2 - there's nothing in the article that passes WP:N. A google search doesn't come up with anything related. That's a pretty strong argument for absence of notability.--Moon Rising 23:59, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Alexander Horn is a controversial esoteric teacher and book writer and he still has groups in New York, so people may want to know more about him. Robertozz 01:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - then they can find out more about him on his own website. Wikipedia is not intended to be Who's who. --Sc straker 18:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Fails WP:N and WP:BIO- no independent news articles found. --Sc straker 18:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment - How do you know he has a group in NY? I'm not questioning that you know this, I'm just wondering how someone else might find it. I've searched for info about him on various search engines and couldn't find anything. If you prefer, you can answer on my talk page.--Moon Rising 18:58, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment - Anyone who wants to check his Google notability should search for alex horn gurdjieff and alex horn fourth way. Waspidistra 21:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Yes please try that search on Google News, not Google Web, and you will find no hits. --Sc straker 18:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Info about Sharon Ganz' and Alex Horn's groups in New York can be found here. Robertozz 07:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
