 * 1) Non-notable white nationalist. Fuerst has published a few pseudoscience articles in the bogus OpenPsych pseudojournals, but no attention is paid to his work by scientists. I don't think he needs an article, and his few junk articles can just be mentioned briefly on the separate OpenPsych journal. Agent47 (talk) 13:09, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Keep

 * 1) The article is substantial and he's contributed a bit in the field with his published crap and all. He also makes legal threats to critics who merely quote the stuff he says, which isn't something, I think, we should ignore. 19:13, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Emil Kirkegaard is relevant, Fuerst far less so. Kirkegaard attended the London Conference on Intelligence, but Fuerst never did etc. Fuerst is just a bedroom blogger. I know Fuerst also complained about his article and posted phony legal threats, but that was several months back and he hasn't done anything bad since. This is unlike Kirkegaard who is still harassing the editors who made his article; Fuerst has never done this and is more respectable. Agent47 (talk) 22:52, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I think Fuerst is still relevant enough, and I don't see the issue of having an article on him as long he gets enough attention and the article is comprehensive on him? 00:38, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Non-notability is not necessarily a valid rationale to delete an article on RW. Cosmikdebris (talk) 19:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) Seriously? 23:19, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) We don't do notability here (although we tend to weed out articles on minor youtubers), we do missionality. Fuerst is easily missional, and has had work cited by Liberty University, according to Google Scholar. Wilder Bicycle 10:25, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * 4) Fuerst is clearly on mission, keep. 13:26, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * 5) Keep: missional. Bongolian (talk) 02:25, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
