This was prodded three years ago for nn, autobio, and insufficient sourcing:[1]. The prod was removed, reason given that the two books he co-authored about his grandfather are not both on vanity presses. The only current source is to subject's own website. The "sources" I removed were blog posts and dead links. Top google hit is this article. Article subject started and has maintained this autobio. Other main contributor had to be warned by ArbComm to stop creating these promo articles about the people who attend his festival.

The only notability I can see is if the two co-authored books about his grandfather are better known than I think they are, or if his website is more significant than I think it is. Either way, this has been needing sourcing for three years and nothing better has been forthcoming. - CorbieV^☊☼ 20:57, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article was created by a user of the same name, most likely himself, which is a conflict of interest. Also no significant news coverage was found in my searches. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 21:12, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
