Not notable. Many of the references are self-declared PR pieces, others are a book by Ringle, mere listings, etc. Nowhere is there significant independent coverage. (The article was created by a serial spammer, blocked in numerous sockpuppet accounts. A PROD was contested, with no reason given, by an IP editor.) JamesBWatson (talk) 10:38, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Given the sources, we can show he exists. Good as far it goes, but that does nothing to show notability. If we had better sources, the origin of the article (from a blocked editor) would be less of a thing. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 12:37, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
