[edit] Bentley Staunch

Prod contested, bringing here. WP:BIO appears to be missed by a mile. Article states this guy is a darling of the conservative movement, with a radio show et al. Google search comes up with one lonely reference and nothing for the radio show. The article also contains just enough questionable content to make me wonder if it's a hoax.

• Strong delete... sooo close to a speedy deletion candidate as nonsense Hahahaha! This is hilarious! But not BJAODN hilarious- just "Does this guy expect anyone to believe this article?" hilarious. Three Google hits; article full of POV; this guy rose to the rank of Kid Rock's assistant; refers to "presidential candidate Alfonse Gore"; etc, etc, etc. -- Kicking222 18:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Even if it's not technically meeting CSD, can we just say it's close enough to kill it now? The Nixon award mentioned doesn't even exist! -- Kicking222 18:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete probable hoax (this is the only google hit: [1] ) otherwise nn no rs pov etc. Crum375 19:33, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: I've reverted to a version before the following was all done:

*I say keep it. A fine addition to the academic fortitude of this online institution. Without the entry of Bentley Staunch this online database borderd on the realms of academic suicide (comment from User:67.68.47.60, replacing the first comment from User:Kicking222)
* It's true; Bentley Staunch is the leading voice of conservatism in Tulsa, Oklahoma and perhaps even nationwide. There's so few google hits because Mr. Staunch doesn't believe in the internet (he thinks that sharing information for free is just one step away from Leninism). (comment from User:70.29.55.131, replacing the original deletion reason)
*Comment Bravo Mr. Fox. I say the level of grassroots support seen from the moral majority (if i may quote the late Richard Nixon) in cyberspace, despite the inherent socialist bias of the medium, is no doubt indicative that the real majority in America may be tuned into Mr. Staunch through the internet, but rather, we connect with Mr. Staunch through something far more inportant, our hearts. May I remind you that George Washington once said of situations like this:

   "Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
        All of man’s infirmity!
        Then, from Thine eternal throne,
        Jesus, look with pitying eye."
                

I think the use who put this entry up for deletion needs to read the previous passage very seriously. (comment from User:67.68.47.60, represented as being from User:Kicking222)
