 * Delete Clearly fails on notability. I can find no mention on Google apart from the article itself and Facebook.  Teapot  george Talk  22:08, 14 October 2010 (UTC).
 * Keep - Every reference or citation checks out. Google Barker's name with titles mentioned or check the links / citations provided. He's worked with many notable people; he has published books by notable people; he has written articles for notable organisations; and his work has been praised by notable people.

 * Delete - I checked both Google scholar and books, and found Nothing. Bearian (talk) 16:31, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Ahem - No such person as "IamTheRon" - identity created purely out of spite?
 * Ahem2 - No such person as "Curemaniac" - identity created by Barker himself to promote his vanity press activities?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.106.254.112 (talk) 15:52, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
