Created by SPA, and despite being here for some time still fails WP:AUTHOR. Some book reviews but nothing substantial about the person to be found. Biographical details are attributed to "his books' biographies," the analytical riffs are attributed to no one despite a tag asking for more sources since 2011, and despite some editing over the years it reads like an autobiography. I can find no significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, as required by GNG. Coretheapple (talk) 14:56, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per my nom. I wanted to add that in addition to this article being created by the SPA User:Jwnyc3, the only substantive contributions were by no fewer than four other SPAs, User:Zebediah.tilton, User:Timmyod and User:Skidm, and User: Fumiste~enwiki whose contributions were confined to this article. It reads like an autobiography because it is an autobiography. Coretheapple (talk) 12:40, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
