Subject is not notable. Article contains a lot of namedropping, but in the end we have a teacher and director who runs workshops (for which the only reference I can find is two brief mentions in a source whose reliability and notability I doubt, and ) and a Development Center, for which I could find one reference, also of questionable authority and notability.

 * Delete If someone could source the claim that he has trained 13,000 teachers, we would probably be able to get him into the Guinness Book of World Records, but barring such evidence, does not meet WP:ACADEMIC. --Crusio (talk) 08:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
