Biography of a Slovak composer and game developer. He's quite active online so he gets Ghits for his accounts on Twitter, Quora, Facebook, Stack Exchange and so on but there's no independent coverage of him in reliable sources. None of the nine references provided are the kind that we can use. The article says he's a game developer but never gives a company he's worked for or a game he's helped to develop. The article also claims that he's been read 2 million times but the reference given is his Quora account which lists about a thousand posts but provides no info about the number of readers.

 * Delete, not notable; WP:promo applies. Kierzek (talk) 20:08, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - being "listed in the World Genius Directory" is a bad sign and it gets worse from there. Blythwood (talk) 06:14, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: purely promotional piece which fails WP:GNG and notability in all areas the subject claims to be active in. He is an independent game developer; no evidence that his games have been picked up by the wider community. None of his academic papers appear to have published in a peer-reviewed journal. At least one of his two albums is self-published, and it seems likely that the other one is as well, because I can't find any online presence of Illumidyne Records or of any other record appearing on this label.
