[edit] Chris Crass

Chris Crass (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Non-notable individual. He has written a number of essays, and some are available on the Web, whether they are important or not, I can't say. Has published one pamphlet, available through amazon for four bucks, in the top 650,000 on their best seller list. Really, fails WP:BIO, as no independent press coverage or other means of notability Wehwalt 09:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete without references or cites we cannot establish notability. If this changes by end of this AfD I could change my vote Alf photoman 15:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Chris Crass is an active trainer and organizer. Within the admittedly small world of anti-racist organizing with progressive organizations in the US, he is a known figure. He and a co-trainer from the Catalyst Project (also under AfD right now) led an anti-racism training for the National Lawyers Guild 2005 National Convention, for example.

• Keep - the "External links" section of the article include links to some interviews, and a found another one here and a review for one of his books here. The article needs cleanup and proper referencing, but I think there's enough to meet BIO.--Kubigula (talk) 05:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

• About Chris Crass being an anti racist, it seemed awfully ironic that the first thing about him was that he was a "white American." that seems sort of counter productive in the movement to make race not matter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CrustacheAdan (talk • contribs) 06:41, 8 February 2007 (UTC).
• Weak keep barely passes WP:BIO and needs severe rewrite... Addhoc 15:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
