--Why is this up for deletion--
Is it because the government doesn't like his research??
- It's because he's "not notable", which I find hard to believe since he's had several articles written about him in major mainstream publications such as the Village Voice, and his mainstream-news-based 9/11 Timeline was part of the basis for the movie "9/11: Press for Truth", which I also understand is being considered "not notable", even though it has been reviewed by major mainstream movie critics such as Jay Carr. --Wigglestrue 11:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- And there are articles covering Paul Thompson the person that are linked on the Terror Timeline page, notably:
And of course, the FOX News interview: http://cooperativeresearch.org/091104foxnewsinterview.html
Article recreated
I have recreated the article after examining the previous AfD, and my own vote in that AfD. The general belief was Paul Thompson was not notable on his own. The previous article failed to mention some important facts:
- A movie titled "9/11 Press For Truth" was based on Thompsons research.
- Thompson has given over 100 interviews including on Fox News and Air America.
- Thompson was featured in Esquire magazine in the "Genius Issue" where he was noted as a "terrorism expert"
- He has testified to a Congressional Panel regarding the 9/11 commissions final report.
These are issues in which his research in general, not his just his book have come into play. It should also be noted the original reason for the AfD was that he was the author of a book that was going to fail its own AfD, however the book did not. --NuclearZer0 16:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
