[edit] Courtney Brown

An associate professor, publisher of a couple of books published by the Farsight Press, imprint of the Farsight Institute, director... Courtney Brown. So: a self-published author. And, er, that's about it, I think, as far as claims to notability go. Oh, and note to the original authors of this article: speculative non-fiction is an oxymoron. Especially when the non-fictional conept in question is remote viewing. Just zis Guy you know? 22:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - the guy is a nut, but that doesn't make him deletable. I really think this guy should stay. - Richardcavell 22:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep notable cranks. Hell, he was on the Art Bell show, his books have shown reviews in numerous scholarly journals, as well as having been published in noted journals as well as other books by notable presses. I have absolutely no idea why this guy doesn't meet your high standards, JzG. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 01:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • You can put it down to exasperation at the RV-cruft pushers. Just zis Guy you know? 16:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Why get exasperated at people making articles within the realm of notability? --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 01:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
This AfD is being relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks!

  • Keep per badlydrawnjeff. (Being kicked off the Art Bell show seems fairly notable.) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
