A good man and activist, but notability is not established IMO. Mukadderat 23:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete-WP:BIO & WP:NOTE, does have the possibility to be turned into a good article though [1]. Tiptoety 23:50, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment What exactly are you citing in WP:BIO & WP:NOTE? Pointing us to a large web page is useless unless you can cite the chapter and verse. Also by voting for deletion you are voting that the topic can NEVER be useful here. Not that it needs improvement, for that you add an improvement tag. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 07:07, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Author Notekeep As the writer: It is well referenced, and he is well quoted by the press when they need an expert on green buildings. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 00:45, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with a STRONG urging to rewrite the article with some/most of the info in the notes to be incorporated into the body of the article. There's more text in the footnotes than in the article at this point. It needs expanding. More information needs to be added to better establish this person's notability. If he's widely quoted, incorporate evidence of that. Wildhartlivie 04:18, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand per User:Wildhartlivie. This is an excellent early article with adequate sources to demonstrate notability per WP:BIO & WP:NOTE. Alansohn 16:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as notable, cited, BLP. Bearian 23:45, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see one local newspaper source only, and it only mentions him. The article from Terrain (listed as Ecology Center, is a interview where he talks about himself. . The other two references are his own statements about himself on his own web pages. He's a member of a number of trade organizations, and he is building some projects. There is no outside evidence that anyone outside the immediate area thinks either they or he important. Change to a keep of course, it anything substantial is added.
