 * Let it stay . He is after all a published author, which is more than the above contributors are. The fact that he has authored a published book means that it should be on record. He should not be removed just because you people have not read the book. Matthias 17:29, 25th June 2006
 * But whether he meets the WP:BIO criteria of "multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work " is debatable. Dbertman 15:34, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
