Friend Of A Bush and CIA man, and apparently that's about it. The article is mostly constructed from primary sources, and I couldn't find anything else that didn't say "CIA/friend of GHWB/Zapata" and little else. Mangoe (talk) 17:21, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Comment - Interesting that Spartacus International (a privately-owned Wikipedia competitor) [http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKdevineTJ.htm has an article] on him. Not sure whether this is a name that conspiracy theorists love to love or whether this is a figure discussed in depth in serious scholarship, so no opinion about whether to keep or delete.

::If someone can find a way to link someone with a JFK conspiracy — in this case, the Big Oil conspiracy theory — you can be sure that Spartacus will create an article on it. - Location (talk) 17:04, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

:::I'd also point out that, beyond the Zapata-to-Wash. Post link (which doesn't involve Devine per se), their article says what I've said in the first sentence, just with more words. Mangoe (talk) 00:52, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
