seriously non-notable, like so many other ufologists relies only on references from other related individuals of dubious notability, I should add that some Ufologists are clearly notable e.g Stanton Freidman, however many have simply had no coverage outside a small circle of "researchers" Rationalthinker1 (talk) 01:17, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. There is a biography of him on The Encyclopedia of UFOs by Ronald Story.  I found him in the index of Watch the Skies by Curtis Peebles, (which also covers his "Straith letter"), Spaceships of the Pleiades: The Billy Meier Story by Kal Korff, UFO Sightings: The Evidence, by Robert Sheaffer, The Roswell UFO Crash, by Kal Korff, and Roswell: Inconvenient Fact and the Will to Believe, by Karl T. Pflock.  Those are just books where I found him in the index in just a few minutes.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, clearly notable. Nominator appears not to understand our notability guidelines and has nominated several articles on notable UFO people in a manner which does not appear to be in good faith. Yworo (talk) 04:28, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Here is a snippet of the encyclopedia biography. There is also Ufo's Are Here. Riddle of Hangar Eighteen has a biography of him which states that he started Saucer News which is among the first UFO publications in the United States. This book shows over 4 pages of a case that he worked on. SL93 (talk) 20:55, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - There is no valid reason given here to delete, there is a fairly signifigant amount of coverage given to back his notablility, I do not feel WP:GNG has been violated here. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 01:48, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
