Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rod D. Martin (2nd nomination)
While the subject appears to be on the cusp of achieving the required level of notability, I am more concerned with the quality of sources for much of the information presented. Besides the ''Washington Post Online Live'' interview transcript and the FEC press release, '''all''' of the other sources are either completely self-published or at the least self-submitted autobiography. And while self-published sources may be used in some cases to flesh out information on already notable subjects, they cannot be used to ''establish'' notability. Other than the fact that he has co-edited one book and that his campaign committee for a failed U.S. House run was fined by the FEC, almost every other statement in this article should be removed as improperly verified per .  When Mr. Martin achieves the required level of notability, we will be able to find reputable, third-party sources from which to write the new article
