Second go around for this article. Was debated in 2006 with no consensus - nothing seems to have given them notability; moreover, we now have WP:BLP and there are no reliable secondary sources for anything in this article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Carlossuarez46 (talk • contribs)

Strong Keep: Much though I deplore those awful "Seems notable" decisions made in profusion at AfD back in the day, it took me all of about ten seconds to find a raft of substantive and reliable sources, including the Boston Globe [1], the Washington Post [2], Rolling Stone [3], the Associated Press [4], NPR's All Things Considered [5], Newsweek [6]. This is such an egregious case of the nom not making the slightest effort to source the article, as WP:BEFORE requires he do before filing an AfD, that I checked his contribution history. I found to my shock that in the course of over five hundred edits he made over the last two days, he filed the astonishing number of 51 AfDs, some of them as little as three minutes apart. This is absurd, and well worth reporting. Ravenswing 08:54, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Please, nom, follow through on WP:BEFORE in the future. Its hard to believe you tried very hard to research this one. Plenty of reliable sources, per above. Sergecross73 msg me 12:53, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per the above sources, and others at CNN [7], The Guardian [8], and the LA Times [9]. Subject meets WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Gongshow talk 23:19, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
