Blatantly self-promotional article. While the subject has a few references, one of which he is only mentioned in tangentially, he is not published in any manner that makes him stand apart from tens of thousands of other published individuals who are not notable. This article was originally prodded, but the template was removed without rationale. Trusilver 01:54, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Massive number of citations in Gnews ([1]) and some citation in Gbooks [2] seem to make a case for notability. --Cyclopia ^talk 17:01, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Sources found as listed above, and also sources found in Google Scholar. Meets notability criteria. Andy14and16 (talk) 02:37, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Very clear notability. Even the article atthe time it was nominated showed the notability. DGG ( talk ) 02:24, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
