Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen G. Bassett
as per : ''"A fringe subject (a fringe theory, organization or aspect of a fringe theory) is considered notable enough for a dedicated article if it has been referenced extensively, and in a serious and reliable manner, by major publications that are independent of their promulgators and popularizers."''  True, basset is a person, not a theory, but he's fringe, a crank, advocate of nonsense.  There is  a full profile in the Washington Post, a long, INDEPTH interview with details of his bio and extra-terrestrial activism: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/ufo-truthers-want-to-make-roswell-an-issue-for-2016-meet-their-lobbyist/2015/12/11/391c9542-9ab0-11e5-8917-653b65c809eb_story.html?utm_term=.992cf975babf UFO truthers want to make Roswell an issue for 2016. Meet their lobbyist.  then there is a full profile in Mother Jones, an edgier take  than the Post:    https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/03/stephen-bassett-ufo-lobbyist-congress-aliens/ This Is What It’s Like to Be the Only Man in Washington Lobbying for UFOs, and several more in similarly reputable publications.  There is simply too much coverage of this crank and his career  to justify deleting
