Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Pearce (philosopher) (3rd nomination)
I wrote quite a bit of this article at one point but have not monitored it, and therefore I believe the problem is the watering down and vandalization/blanking/removal of information that was once in the article rather than a lack of notability of its subject (who clearly qualifies by ) - for example, I just did a search for his book in Google Books and found close to 500 citations of it in other books. That would take me hours to sift through if I were to try to add information from them to this article. Anyone commenting on here is free to do so themselves, but they cannot honestly make the argument that he is not notable. I added some information to the article to make that clearer. He does, however, have a lot of people who for whatever reason get riled up by his ideas and don't want anyone to hear them - the recent article history even includes death threats to Pearce. Nonetheless, Pearce has ideas that have been featured in books and articles by numerous third-party sources, and "The Hedonistic Imperative" is on college syllabi. Very clear keep
