Doesn't appear to be notable. Brief search doesn't turn up much. Verifiable, but not notable. -- Ged UK  14:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking weak keep on this one. A Google Scholar search turns up a few articles written by the subject.  The articles are in JSTOR, and have been cited by multiple other articles.  I would say that probably meets criterion #1 of WP:ACADEMIC. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  15:19, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Per LinguistAtLarge, meets mimimal criterion #1 of WP:ACADEMIC Wacko Jack O   15:35, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per LinguistAtLarge, also results on Google news and books searches suggest that he is notable and verify some of the content. Article will probably need to be rewritten as parts of the article (particularly in the second paragraph) appear to be more like an essay or opinion than an encyclopedia article. — Snigbrook  15:47, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep with a patina of "weakness". Subject appears to meet notability requirements. Article itself needs a ton of work. -Quartermaster (talk) 13:55, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note I have wikified the article somewhat on behalf of the WP:ARS. Skomorokh  22:24, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Per WP:AFTER, I checked Google Books, Google News, and Google Scholar and have begun a much needed sandblasting of hyperbole and adding of sources. This gentleman is an amazing fellow. Quite notable. Thge article does need more work, but its now snowing.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
