About half of the sources are works created by Barnes. The coverage he has received is not of the level to indicate that he is notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 06:19, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Of the fourteen sources referenced in the article:
- Three (the Gay Times and NYPress articles, and the yahoo link) are broken links. The Gay Times article is archived here and is an interview with Barnes. The NYPress article is archived here, and is another interview, this time with him and another of the founders of the Initiative Collective. The yahoo link is his contributor profile for yahoo, archived here. None are independent, and so they don't contribute to GNG.
- One photograph of him (not significant coverage) on the website of the real life superhero project (an initiative he is involved in: not independent coverage). Another photograph of him as part of a series of photographs of real life superheros (not significant coverage).
- One article about the Wall-Street Creeper, which doesn't provide significant coverage of Zimmer Barnes.
- One announcement of a lecture by Barnes -- not significant coverage, not independent.
- A staff profile of Barnes for "Magic Camp" -- again, not independent.
- A summary of a court case his mother was involved in -- no significant coverage.
- An article by Barnes -- not independent.
- An imdb profile of a documentary. Not a reliable source, though the documentary itself may be.
- Two videos of interviews with Barnes -- not independent.
- Finally, an in-depth article in the Boston Phoenix -- which only mentions Zimmer once. Again, not significant coverage.
There may be sources out there, but the ones in the article as it is do not demonstrate notability... Caeciliusinhorto ( talk) 09:06, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

delete: no one has provided new sources that show Barnes meets any notability guidelines, or provided any reason to believe the existing sources are sufficient to demonstrate notability. Caeciliusinhorto ( talk) 22:45, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:PROMO and insufficient RS. This is a vanity page, serving to promote the subject only, with trivial details such as "he attended a conference". K.e.coffman ( talk) 04:30, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- delete I can't find adequate sourcing. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 17:25, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
