 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails general notability criteria and WP:BIO; no evidence of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Poorly referenced for at least 3 years now without improvement. As best I can tell, this individual is known only for his idiosyncratic beliefs about physics, which do not notable as they don't seem to have been covered or addressed by any independent, reliable sources.

 * Agree, he doesn't seem notable at all except among a few crackpots for his "theory" (he appears to have no physics background). IRWolfie- (talk) 16:10, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Another guy who's gone and solved everything leaving nothing for physicists to do. We need to silence him now before the WP:TRUTH gets out.  N o f o rmation  Talk  18:45, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Too few sources to make a notable crank. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:06, 2 October 2011 (UTC).
 * Comment I'm not voting on this as I don't have enough knowledge of the subject to gauge just how cranky this man's theories were. But for the article to be in this undeveloped state after FIVE YEARS suggests that it isn't going to get any better.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:18, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find anything for "North Pacific Publishers", who published Larson's books, that isn't one of Larson's books. I suspect they're self-published, meaning we just have someone who self-published some books. Hardly notable. 86.178.194.188 (talk) 02:19, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:34, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing but brief mentions of his book titles found in secondary sources, not enough notability for his own article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:39, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
