Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Paul Wesley
as . I found only one third-party reference, and it is in the Natural Philosopher's database which is a personal project of two people. However, I did find about ten of his articles cited in G-Scholar with cites ranging from about 35-75. That's not huge, but given the time frame I find it mildly acceptable. However, this article needs to be greatly reduced. All of his writings need to be removed from the references and instead treated as a bibliography. The article should not include a full bibliography of his works but only selected works (which can be chosen from those most cited). The long quotes from the self-published works also need to go. And the whole family history part has to go since that's not what makes him notable. This was clearly the project of a relative or family member and is more like a memorial than a WP article. My gut feeling is that he was a bit of a crank, but that doens't keep him out of WP as long as he meets other criteria
