He is an author and translator. This is a BLP with just one reference in the article to what appears to be a novel he translated. WP:Before is showing he has written several books however they are little read. Tagged for notability since 2011. Szzuk (talk) 20:03, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - Doesn't seem to pass WP:NOTABILITY. The article seems to depend heavily on the authors blurbs that go with the books.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 00:23, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. When the sole reference for a real-life bio is a work of fiction by Harry Turtledove (known for alternate history) we have a WP:V issue. It also seems he doesn't pass GNG or NAUTHOR per my BEFORE. Icewhiz (talk) 16:22, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. He appears in the references for 1100 en-wiki articles, mostly due to his translation of German U-boat commanders of World War II. There's a limited interview with him here -- now retired so unlikely notability will increase. Otherwise there's a lack of sources about him or his translations or his authored works (15 citations to Hitler's Nuclear Weapons listed). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 11:53, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
