Low notability author. Recent complaint from an editor claiming to be the subject removing slanderous content that remained in the BLP for three months. After four years of wikipedia existence it is still a two lined uncited stub apart from a book review. Off2riorob (talk) 21:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC) Off2riorob (talk) 21:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
