WP:FRINGEBLP of a subject who fails WP:NPROF, WP:NAUTHOR, and WP:BASIC. Holds a position at what appears to be a for-profit distance learning institution. Co-author of one low-cited but legitimately published paper, but I see no indication of passing any of the relevant SNGs. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 03:40, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. It is possible for fringe practitioners to be notable, but only through mainstream sources that provide a sufficiently neutral and in-depth description of who they are and what they do. We don't appear to have any of that in this case. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:17, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. For an out there WP:FRINGE topic like 'paranormal research' we would definitely need substantial coverage by mainstream scientific sources, not what is present here. The article is written as a promotional piece of WP:FRINGE work and looks unsalvageable. Nsk92 (talk) 07:09, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I concur with the nomination and the !votes above (and the article being tagged for half a decade without improvement doesn't help either). XOR&#39;easter (talk) 14:47, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete we need substantial mainstream coverage for someone involved in such a fringe topic.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:55, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
