Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Howard Bloom
This is sort of weird, but I'm commenting here because I'm sitting across from Bloom in a coffee shop at this exact moment and looked him up on Wikipedia since his book is for sale in the coffee shop. (Bloom comes in here a lot and I do as well so I've seen him pretty often, but I've never spoken to him). Anyhow that's not the point. Having just read the blurbs on the back of his book I would have figured that there's probably a lot of secondary source material on this guy (thus surprised it was up for deletion), but like others I'm really not finding it. Per the |GNG I don't think he meets the guideline for notability, particularly since I think we need to err on the side of not having too many |BLPs on marginally notable folks. If I'm missing some sources I could be persuaded to change my !vote, but my feeling right now is that this ought to be deleted. No offense to Mr. Bloom or this coffee shop
