Deletion of Joseph Bast

Comment: He does have some claim to notability as someone heading an organisation which has been in the news and as someone whose opinion has been sought multiple times by the media. But the articles cited by Jinkinson don't provide much in the way of information about him; they just cite him as an expert or a spokesman for Heartland, and are nowhere near meeting . The links on the article don't qualify as independent and reliable sources: most are by Bast, with some blog and user-generated content. I can't find reviews of his publications in mainstream publications. But a couple more references from reliable sources that actually say something about Bast might establish notability. A merge to Heartland Institute could be possible
