Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter J. Burien Jr.
Non-notable. Subject has never held office, fails . He has never written a book, fails . He has a couple of patents, but that does not confer notability. He has occasionally been interviewed on the radio http://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/burien-walter/43097. Other than that I could not find any significant or reliable coverage about him. Lots of stuff on blogs and such, but nothing from mainstream sources. Google News provides nothing at all for "Walter R. Burien Jr." and only five hits for "Walter Burien" - none of them from reliable or notable sources.http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&tbs=nws%3A1&q=%22Walter+Burien%22&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=. Mr. Burien claims that Google gives 400,000 hits for Walter Burien, but that undoubtedly includes sites with just "Walter" or just "Burien". A search for "Walter Burien" with the quotation marks actually provides 70,000 hits - many of them things like an e-mail he wrote to somebody. "Walter Bubien" does no better. (He claims he changed his name out of fear of reprisal - reprisal for exactly what is not clear; he claims that he and his friends and the station he appeared on "came under attack," but no trace of that attack can be found on Google.) The article itself is a mess, a cross between resumé and narrative essay, but it could be rewritten if the subject himself was notable per Wikipedia's standards  - which in my opinion he is not
