[edit] Dave Champion

Dave Champion (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

One-and-half-year-old bio stub, just as unsourced today as it was when created, and no real sign of actual importance, impact, or notoriety. PROD tag and {{Articleissues}} tags added, but tags removed without addressing concerns. Calton | Talk 14:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. This is a weak delete. The subject of this article may be "on the radar" for certain people; however, I don't see much anywhere that would qualify the article in terms of notability for purposes of Wikipedia -- at this time. The individual subject is a radio talk show host and run-of-the-mill purveyor of Tax protester arguments -- erroneous, legally frivolous arguments about the validity or applicability of Federal tax laws. He is not a lawyer or certified public accountant. I believe he might be holding himself out as a "paralegal." He has no discernable knowledge of legal matters of any kind. (In the interest of full disclosure: I am an attorney and certified public accountant. I am also a former radio talk show host myself. I edit heavily in the area of tax law related articles in Wikipedia.) Based on a google search and a search of the huge CCH database of reported U.S. Federal tax decisions (court cases) since the year 1913 (resulting in no "Dave Champion" hits at all in the CCH database), I don't see much that would qualify the article in terms of notability. For now: a delete, with the understanding that Dave Champion could very well become notable enough at some future time (and I don't want to be more specific than that here).

• Weak delete Google News can find nothing on this person's radio program under any combination of keywords. Plenty of Google hits so there is some notability but not in reliable secondary sources, it appears. If this article were better referenced, I'd flip this vote to Keep. - Dravecky (talk) 06:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
