Does not seem to meet the guideline for inclusion. Searches reveal no sources to back up article's claims decltype (talk) 10:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This would appear to be no more than thinly veiled spam for this outfit. His name doesn't appear to have troubled the indexers (or is the word "indicators"?) at Google News and Google Scholar. A Google Books search finds that he self-published a book in 1967 which is unknown to Worldcat and that he gets a passing mention here. A plain old google web search just picks up a couple of directory listings of the eponymous language schools. I would also point out that 45 rpm records reached the mass market in the mid-1950s and cassette tapes in the late 1960s, so it is stretching the usual meaning of "after" a little (although it is literally true - as would be "after the Peloponnesian War") to say that the subject used these formats after the Second World War.
