Keep quite a lot of coverage of this militia founder and leader.

Redirect - no substantial coverage presented that is independent of Oath Keepers.

I created the page. Am fine with merging it with Oath Keepers.
Delete Article relies too much on primary sources and sources published by Rhodes. Then there is the SPLC, which is basically a fund-raising racket, that is in no way a reliable source for anything, both trying to support its incoherent hate group list by mischaracterizing many who are put there and at the same time listing at least one individual as a hate group, not even counting some of the organizations it identifies as "groups" that do not clearly have more than one actual member. Such high presure salesman tactics should not be used in created a neutral point of view encyclopedia.

Redirect to
Oath Keepers, as typically done with leaders/founders of minor groups. Not independently notable and a separate article is not required. Possibly protect the redirect, to prevent restoration.

Delete and/or redirect. Half the footnotes here are
primary sources or
blogs, which cannot support notability, and he's not strongly enough the subject of the other four more reliable sources to deem him as passing
WP:GNG.
