Keep I can't see any justification for the nom. There are plenty of references available on [http://books.google.com/books?as_brr=0&q=%22John+Lundberg%22+AND+%28conceptual+OR+crop+OR+artist%29&btnG=Search+Books Google Books] and [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22John+Lundberg%22+AND+%28conceptual+OR+crop+OR+artist%29&btnG=Search+Archives&scoring=a Google News] for Lundberg, not to mention the existing external links section of the article, e.g. [http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=2374926&page=1 ABC News]: "John Lundberg, a world-renowned crop circle architect", a [http://www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/content/articles/2006/09/22/feature_inside_out_crop_circles_20060922_feature.shtml BBC documentary], [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2191565.stm BBC News], etc. Ty 19:24, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Keep per sources found by User:Tyrenius that do address the individual. The nom's concern is well founded in that the articles is in great need of cleanup and proper sourcing, as that excessive linkfarm should be turned to citations where possible and removed if not, and cites that go back to any SPS should be removed.

:*Some of the sources I mentioned, e.g. ABC News, are already in the article in the EL section. If an article needs cleanup and sourcing etc, the solution is to add tags such as {{tl|cleanup}} and {{tl|refimprove}} + {{tl|linkfarm}}. Not all the EL need to be removed, and some use of SPS is allowed per WP:SELFPUB. Ty 12:54, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Keep per above, seems worthwhile...Modernist (talk) 04:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
