- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Appears to be a longstanding stub, more than seven years with only two refs: one that leads nowhere (and looks as if it previously led to a non-WP:RS "source", archived here), and the other that leads—shock, surprise, etc.—to a defunct page on a commercial site, the front page of which appears to be the verbatim source for the text of the article. So not only does it flunk SOAP and PEOPLE, but also COPYVIO. Previous AFD discussion from 2006 looks like a pathetic joke; go see it and take note the article has not changed substantially since then. —Scheinwerfermann T·C01:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Our rules require subjects to be notable according to our standards. —Scheinwerfermann T·C02:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Given the lack of a pot-smokers subsection in WP:BIO, he appears to weakly pass WP:GNG. Location (talk) 03:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No canvassing, please. Location (talk) 03:29, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No unwarranted scolding, please. I asked someone to take a look, and he did. Read the policy before poking someone with it. —Scheinwerfermann T·C04:26, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
