Deletion of John Searl

Comment: It seems that he is not  since he has both the invention of the SEG and the electricity theft conviction which are only tangentially related.  I agree that the sources leave a lot to be desired, and there is lots of |self-published material (SPS), such as the ''documentary''.  The article has been around since March 2006.  So I guess the real question is: ''Is he a notable crackpot?'' Based on fringe sources, I would say he is. SPS can legitimately be used for personal data such as birth, etc

Comment: Sources appear to only exist for John Searl on the electricity theft which is  and also minor: it does not reach notability. The SEG appears to fall short of notability (I couldn't find any decent sources). Google books and Google scholar on the SEG only shows up with some fringe publications

Comment: and merge Searl Effect Generator here; the large number of references to Searl in the  literature suggests some notability, although obviously his device is rubbish. -- Special:Contributions/203.171.197.232|203.171.197.232
