There don't appear to be adequate reliable, third-party sources to the level that we need for a biography of a living person. Some of the citations are to Firstenberg's own writings, and some are to local news reports, but there's nothing showing any evidence of real, long-term notability. *** Crotalus *** 18:19, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - news coverage is far wider than "local" - a Google News search for Firstenberg & electromagnetic turns up 22 articles, including in the LA Times, UPI, Yahoo News, ABC News, SF Chronicle, the Register (UK) and others, going back as far as Wired News in 2002. Whatever the merit of his beliefs, that is notability. --CliffC (talk) 22:05, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The article is well-sourced, and as CliffC points out, the subject is notable. Mitsube (talk) 04:14, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Original author, please help improve. Figure remains often cited and influential in internationally significant debate. Please help cross link. ∴ here…♠ 07:26, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
