Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Renard (4th nomination)
I have not participated in any of the previous deletion discussions. I read the arguments and the sources, and did some searches of my own.  I was going to abstain based on procedure but DGG made a good point about how exceptions to the two month wait after an AfD close are allowable. The only two arguments in favor of keeping this article that I could find are that there are 1,084 reviews on Amazon for his book The Disappearance of the Universe https://www.amazon.com/Disappearance-Universe-Straight-Illusions-Forgiveness/dp/1401905668/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 and the book is ranked #15 (although in a very narrow category - #15 in Books > Religion & Spirituality > Occult & Paranormal > Ancient & Controversial Knowledge) https://www.amazon.com/Disappearance-Universe-Straight-Illusions-Forgiveness/dp/1401905668/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 But, I can't find any mainstream coverage on him or the book.  So, absent reliable coverage, this article clearly fails . That being said, it's a well-known fact that there are church groups that mobilize en masse to attend religious movies and buy related books, and so there's a large "hidden" subculture that is ignored by the mainstream media.  To address this, I recommend a compromise - taking some of the info about the book and putting it in a new section called A Course in Miracles#Associated works, and redirecting this article there
