Not even close to notable. Co-authored a single (not notable) book. Article and author's website says it all really. Phil153 (talk) 08:17, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * To be fair, he seems to have done more than work on that single book, and as the book is in its second printing I suspect it is notable. Probably.  But none of his work seems to rise to the point that suggests he himself is notable.  No heavily cited papers found by google scholar; a few technical articles written for the IT press, but nothing that stands out as groundbreaking; Delete. JulesH (talk) 10:00, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I should clarify. I didn't mean to imply that he hasn't done good work (his book is well regarded by reviewers on Amazon, and he's written some useful articles, for example), merely that he doesn't meet our notability guidelines for inclusion at present.

 * Delete - even by Wikipedias low, low standard of Bios this doesn't come close to meeting WP:BIO and reads like a promotion. Shot info (talk) 22:45, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
