Non-notable individual lacking GHITS and GNEWS of substance. Article references are an obit and a couple from his own website. Appears to fail WP:BIO. red dog six (talk) 18:41, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Author of two books, for which I can find no holdings on WorldCat whatsoever, and very little in the way of basic notability for the author or his work. One of the references given is his obituary, and the last two (one of which doesn't even mention him) are to what wouldn't exactly call reliable. § FreeRangeFrog croak 20:17, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Here is a link to a book he co-authored on WorldCat: http://www.worldcat.org/title/living-toad-free-overcoming-resistance-to-motivation/oclc/74455728&referer=brief_results Also, a link to his thesis ( http://www.worldcat.org/title/education-and-the-development-or-diminishment-of-personal-integrity-within-the-individual/oclc/17886892&referer=brief_results ) and another one of his books ( http://www.worldcat.org/title/the-three-little-pigs-in-a-postmodern-world/oclc/425680370&referer=brief_results )--The Philosophical INFP 21:27, 3 April 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Philosophical INFP (talk • contribs)
 * I know where the books are, my point is that they show no holdings whatsoever (or few enough of them to not really matter). As the article's creator, do you have anything more substantive than what's in the article right now, that could help establish notability? § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:00, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Rader is off the radar.  Yes, he published two books, but neither of them meets the requirements of WP:BK.  He utterly fails WP:AUTHOR. Qworty (talk) 06:46, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
