(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This person has written some minor books on history. None of them have been peer reviewed or taken seriously by mainstream historians, or used as references. None of them, to the best of my knowledge, have been used as references in Wikipedia and would certainly be rejected as reliable sources. The article seems more like self-promotion and there has been debate to that effect in the talk page. The article has been tagged for some time. Politis (talk) 18:38, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This was originally appended to the bottom of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Baar. All I did was fix the nomination formatting. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 01:30, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:AfD-vote Probably eligible simply because it's an unreferenced BLP anyways. ~ QwerpQwertus · Contact Me · 05:54, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

delete – this author is somewhat notable in the sense of being notorious in the field of certain nationalist polemics, and it would certainly be no problem finding coverage of him by his opponents (such as the guy who wrote The Ten Lies of Macedonism), but since most of these will in turn also fail to constitute reliable sources, and we have next to nothing sourced on him as a person (biographical detail etc.), it's probably better to let the article go. Note that the article has in the past fluctuated between being promotional and being an attack page and there had to be admin intervention after OTRS complaints [1][2][3].
