Deletion of Caleb Maupin (2nd nomination)

Comment: There's clearly a  campaign going on given the number of anonymous and first time editors participating in this discussion. In the previous discussion I !voted keep, because there was some coverage of the subject, and it wasn't being considered. However, in the two years since there has been no additional significant coverage of Caleb Maupin, if one discounts press releases from governments in Iran, Russia, North Korea, and Syria. It looks to me like Maupin is acting as a propagandist for these countries; whether he's doing so knowingly or not is open to interpretation. Of course, there are notable propagandists, but Maupin hasn't been able to achieve that (yet). We need independent sources describing his activism or propaganda, and there aren't enough to keep an article about him at this time

Comment: There is obviously either canvassing or socking going on here, likely both.  The ''one'' article offered above that qualifies |as a reliable source is a local newsweekly (and a minor one, at that) talking about Maupin in the context of being one of two leaders of a 10-person group from nearly a decade ago.  That is not a significant piece of journalism about Maupin.  Absolutely everything that contains the words "Caleb Maupin" one could Google was then shoveled in  whether those articles are about Maupin at all or not and without regards to the source quality in an attempt to demonstrate coverage.  This is ridiculous and ''weakens'' the argument that Maupin is notable in Wikipedia terms, not strengthens it.  When an editor need to troll through ''Washington Examiner'', Youtube, ''Breitbart'', ''The Free Beacon'' and even ''Infowars'' to find one-sentence quotes and the like to try to demonstrate notability they've actually demonstrated the opposite.  Attempts to offer up sites controlled by the China Ministry of Information or the Russia Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications as  are also not persuasive and further the impression that foreign state-controlled actors are attempting to promote a profile of Maupin as a serious journalist
