Advertisement for non-notable fringe/crackpot writer, full of self-published works and utter nonsense which has apparently not gained traction sufficient to make him a notable fringe writer. So: both shameless advertisement AND non-notable BLP. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  15:09, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Was thinking of nominating this myself, for the reasons above. Clearly WP:PROMO, and most references are to his own books, which are primary sources. As a result, fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:16, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - if it's true he was granted political asylum because of persecution from the FSB that would general signal notability, but this is highly dubious/silly.  —Мандичка YO 😜 20:44, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * reply - extraordinary claims require especially solid sourcing; no sign of anything of the sort. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  23:54, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Wholly agree; sounds bogus. —Мандичка YO 😜 01:12, 8 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. WP:FRINGE subjects need in-depth mainstream sources to provide a suitably neutral view of them, and no such sources are in evidence here. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:34, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I am suspicious that everything in English in his list of works seems to be published by HPA Press. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:42, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
