Deletion of Stephen G. Bassett

Comment: as per : ''"A fringe subject (a fringe theory, organization or aspect of a fringe theory) is considered notable enough for a dedicated article if it has been referenced extensively, and in a serious and reliable manner, by major publications that are independent of their promulgators and popularizers."''  True, basset is a person, not a theory, but he's fringe, a crank, advocate of nonsense.  There is  a full profile in the Washington Post, a long, INDEPTH interview with details of his bio and extra-terrestrial activism: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/ufo-truthers-want-to-make-roswell-an-issue-for-2016-meet-their-lobbyist/2015/12/11/391c9542-9ab0-11e5-8917-653b65c809eb_story.html?utm_term=.992cf975babf UFO truthers want to make Roswell an issue for 2016. Meet their lobbyist.  then there is a full profile in Mother Jones, an edgier take  than the Post:    https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/03/stephen-bassett-ufo-lobbyist-congress-aliens/ This Is What It’s Like to Be the Only Man in Washington Lobbying for UFOs, and several more in similarly reputable publications.  There is simply too much coverage of this crank and his career  to justify deleting

Comment: I was actually going to !vote to keep it, but then I saw  in one of jps's comments and read it. It matches with my impression of the nominally reliable sources used in this article as what I would generally call "filler" news stories. They only cover this subject because he's unusual, not because he's ever done anything noteworthy. So with that in mind, I'm not seeing anywhere near the coverage I would expect for a notable person

Comment: per . The notability of the subject is marginal, while the article, in its current state, in 100% promo 'cruft, which also happens to be in part self-cited and to advocate for a fringe topic. Sample content
