Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rick Ross (consultant)
There are plenty of reliable, published sources for this individual. See, for instance, http://books.google.com/books?as_q=deprogrammer&num=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=Rick+Ross this Google Books search which shows several pages of hits for Ross's deprogramming activities alone. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_q=deprogrammer&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=Rick+Ross Here is a similar search on Google Scholar. Not all these books or articles are suitable sources for a |BLP, but many of them are. There should be no problem with making this article compliant with , , and . Semi-protection, and even full protection, could be used if problematic information kept being inserted. And I don't consider "opt-out" to be a viable rule on Wikipedia - especially not for people who are clearly significant public figures. It's not our job to help people stage-manage their Internet profiles
