Deletion?

This article should not be deleted. It provides reference material for individuals interested in the pro-gun movement, as well as for individuals that promote citizen disarmament. In addition, this article demonstrates the diverse set of views within the pro-gun movement. A quick review of pro-gun information, as well as disarmament literature amply demonstrates the article is generally accurate - Mr. Brown is indeed the Executive Director for the National Association for Gun Rights.75.164.108.9 (talk) 00:23, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely needs deletion, filled with entire paragraphs without reference, we are taking his word that he is influential by a wikipedia page that says he is without references. Liam.lah (talk) 02:14, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't be deleted since it is about an influential figure in Colorado politics, has original research and is referenced. Does not meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. Hawk4free 15:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. ➪HiDrNick! 16:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article should absolutely be deleted. It is not well referenced, clearly written by Dudley and is simply a wholesale cut and paste from his gun website with a couple of paragraphs added at the end. There marginal original research here. The images are not captioned and are taken directly from his website (again indicating that the authorship is Dudley. Fishthinker (talk) 21:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a personal webpage for Dudley. if Dudley deserves a Wikipedia entry, then so does everyone with a job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.24.176.95 (talk) 02:33, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've again removed the A7 speedy deletion tag. The references in the article now probably don't meet the general notability requirements for inclusion as a stand-alone article, but I feel A7 is quite a stretch. Articles for Deletion is the next procedural step if you wish to remove this article. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 23:46, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this article. Dudley Brown is NOT an important figure in US gun politics. His "National Associaiton for Gun Rights" is a tiny front organization that exists primarily to collect funds for Brown's use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.153.108 (talk) 17:46, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I came to Wikipedia looking for info after getting an emai from the National Association for Gun Rights. I found a great looking very professional page, but reading between the lines, the place is a scam. It just writes to gun folks with excellent pleas for money. They almost got me right before the election. The article in Wikipedia is clearly there to gve credibility to the scam. The page probably needs to be removed and something put in place so that it isn't created again. It certainly lacks notability if nothing else. I hope someone reads this and takes care of it. It's way above my pay grade to remove a page and there's no way I'd be able to keep it deleted. The scammer is clearly expert at Wiki. Please check and see if he has been deleting messages in TALK calling him out on this. 24.4.128.248 (talk) 19:14, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Brown is not personally important or noteworthy, though the articles on NAGR and RMGO ought to remain, since they are ostensibly political organizations, though the articles on them don't capture the entirety of the controversy and lack of efficacy of either organization. This guy is also notoriously homophobic and hated by a lot of GOP activists/elected officials (even strongly pro-gun ones), yet this article reads like he wrote it (because he would do that) and fails to mention really any critical aspects about him, which nobody would care about if not for NAGR and RMGO.
