Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/L. Craig Schoonmaker (3rd nomination)
The last AfD's lack of consensus seemed to hinge on whether deletion based on notability was consistent with WP's deletion policy. Personally, I'm not opposed to using notability in such a way, as I see it as an extension of  criteria. However, I wouldn't be opposed to a mention of the man if his claims of coining "gay pride" could be verified, and its unfortunate that more time wasn't given between AfD nominations to allow for sources to be found and the article to be rewritten. Still, even that wouldn't merit an entire encyclopedic article--if anything, a blurb in the gay pride article would cut it for me, and he's already been given that much. I went back and forth over this (as this comment probably indicates), but ultimately he fails --even his major contribution, if he made it, isn't "widely recognized" and in fact isn't yet verifiable
