Web of Science shows one paper only, Bellucci S, O'Reilly D,  Nonminimal string corrections and supergravity PHYSICAL REVIEW D 73 (6): Art.

 * Delete. A physicist with a PhD in 2006 would need to have done something special to have yet attained WP:PROF standards, and there is no evidence that this is the case here. I've also failed to find any evidence that the book he edited (Accepting the Challenge: The Memoirs of Michael Flannery (2001)) is notable. Espresso Addict 21:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A lot of largely-unsourced detail but nothing stands out as notable. —David Eppstein 22:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity page. JJL 22:51, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
