Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sean Gabb
to Libertarian Alliance.  I do not dispute Nom's masterful dissection of sources on the page as he found it.  But I began, as is my habit in AfDs with some claim to notability  (especially with controversial subjects as a politican who was most active a few years ago ), with a Proquest news archive search.  There are quite a lot of hits.  So I began to do an expand, source on his political activity.  Do '''note''' that that the page appears to have been written largely as a PROMO vehicle for Gabb's ambitions as an historical novelist.  Regarding the novels, I did find very brief, negative reviews of ''Conspiracies of Rome,'' which was published under the name "Richard Blake", but, despite the fact that he was backed by a major publishing house, he fails .  He was, however, a somewhat well-known political controversialist.  If the article was pared down and diligently sourced, it might well pass .  Feel free to ping me to reconsider if somebody undertakes that labour.  Meanwhile, there is too much notability in discussion of him and his opinions (often in the form of political columns and coverage of people who viscerally ''hate'' him for advocating not only anti-EU politics, but of ideas such as making guns more widely available in Britain as an anti-crime policy,) , nevertheless, coverage of him and his ideas is too substantive for deletion.  I therefore propose redirecting to Libertarian Alliance,  where his primary notability appears to lie
