[edit] Robert L. Brock
Unnotable racist and anti-semite, fails WP:BIO. Brewcrewer 03:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep. He received news coverage over the years, just barely more for his support for black reparations than for his black separatism. [1] [2] He is especially noted for his lawsuits against the US government including the IRS. [3] A number of sources are behind paywalls, but he clearly passes WP:BIO regardless. --Dhartung | Talk 04:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Are there two Robert L. Brock's? According to the Wikipedia entry he is involved with white supermacist groups. That doesn't sound like someone who would be involved with black reparations. --Brewcrewer 07:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- As a black separatist and an anti-semite, he had a lot in common with those groups. See the Nizkor profile and Uncommon Ground for an ADL report showing the links. I'm looking for a source for the pseudonym claim; right now all I can confirm is that they were co-authors.--Dhartung | Talk 08:42, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. I didn't know that this type of hate exists. --Brewcrewer 08:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

- Keep sources seem quite sufficient for notability--non-free sources are acceptable--and there are generally free ways of getting to them. Dhartung, could you fix the refs above so they show where the items were actually published, so they can be found in libraries, and add them to the article. DGG (talk) 09:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete NN, and a questionable character too. Tiptopper 01:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
