Deletion of Coleman Hughes

Comment: I'm afraid that efforts to delete this BLP may reflect negative sentiment regarding the subject's controversial views. It is patently false that there is no RS content cited in the article. It is also patently false that there is no RS coverage of the individual beyond his congressional testimony on June 19th. Given that a date-restricted Google search turns up the below, and that this subject clearly meets the requirements in , it's hard to understand why this article was ever nominated for deletion in the first place
