I agree with Anthony on this point. Brandt has been an asshole at times. He's had some weird (and wrong) ideas at times. But so have others.

He has also been right at times We ultimately decided to delete his bio after all...

We possibly erred in deleting the article on him. This latest mention in the Slate article may have tipped the balance with respect to notability. If he is taken serious by mainstream media, perhaps we ought to have an article. Or perhaps we should make an explicit exception for subjects we are too close to, and not have articles for such subjects.
