[edit] Frank Feather
We've had this around for a while. It's an autobiography, neutrality issues have never been addressed, claims to have coined a famous phrase are sourceable only to the subject, everyone else thinks it was David Brower. Nobody but the subject seems to be interested in this, and he's not going to fix it. Guy (Help!) 18:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unless the claims in the article are referenced. Otherwise, he's non-notable. The site he founded has an Alexa traffic rank of 1,736,661. His most recent book has an Amazon sales rank of 873,556. - PoliticalJunkie 19:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

- Delete as per nom Maustrauser 22:40, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - he's been published by Simon&Schuster and has 9 other books to his name. - Richard Cavell 07:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete or Serious Revision What he's famous for isn't even his quote. That's the entire premise of the page. If you want to keep the page based on the books he wrote, then revise article to include mostly those. - Tyler Jarvis 01:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

- Reduce and merge to Think Globally, Act Locally. I did what I could with it, but I am still not comfortable having this article here. Searches in news databases show that he is sought after for his opinion, but that no published writer has profiled him. The current content of the article is verified from snippets here and there. If nobody in the outside world has taken non-trivial note of him, so to speak, why should we do so here? This article was created by its subject; if he hadn't created it, probably no one else would have thought to do so. So I don't think we should keep the article. However, as source #3 in the article compares his claimed coinage of "thinking globally acting locally" with Think Globally, Act Locally, that might merit a mention in Think Globally, Act Locally. So reduce and merge. Pan Dan 13:11, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
