Non notable, not worthy of an encyclopedia entry. We can't possibly catalog every crackpot theorist and give them a platform for their asinine, out-of-touch "theories"
- Speedy Keep. This afd sounds like a POV issue. Levitt clearly meets requirements of notability for an author. -Jcbarr 15:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep per Jcbarr. --D-Day Somebody talk to me. Please somebody! Anybody! 15:33, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep As much as I may disagree with some of the what the person may have to say, he is notable and I cannot stand with you on this. Wikipedia is for NPOV articles, not a soapbox for a viewpoint no matter how worthy.Coffeeboy 15:41, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I see no reason why this guy is not notable enough. After all, he seems to have a New York Times bestseller. Also, it doesn't look like the article especially propagates his theories. – Krun 16:01, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
