Delete: Article was created by possible WP:COI account. Does not meet WP:GNG since there is not significant coverage by independent sources; most references are about self articles by Jon B. Perdue himself or from organizations he was directly involved with. The one decent source, ProPublica, describes him as "a self-described guerrilla warfare expert" and "a onetime contributor to Breitbart". Individual (and possibly edits) are also linked to the now-deleted Center for a Secure Free Society [1]. WMrapids ( talk) 18:12, 23 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I am also nominating the following related pages because they were created by the possible WP:COI account, lacks notability and is written like and advertisement:

Packbow (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Bundling with Jon B. Perdue.-- WMrapids ( talk) 18:24, 23 October 2023 (UTC) reply

 Comment: In addition, the ProPublica journalist speaks about the individual beginning at 3:30 in this video, saying he "has worked for a sort of fringe think tank" and that the Packbow was created for "societal collapse".-- WMrapids ( talk) 19:16, 23 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: an interesting person but non-notable based on sources provided. Llajwa ( talk) 20:50, 23 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete not a lot of WP:SIGCOV. Many of the refs are self-works or profiles (such as his general Amazon one). Best, GPL93 ( talk) 11:58, 30 October 2023 (UTC) reply
