I can't find anything to verify the claims to notability in this article. Gigs (talk) 15:59, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete; almost certainly a hoax. If he really did help design the Empire State Building and World Trade Center, there would be some way to verify it. Kansan (talk) 17:33, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. The claims are questionable.  For example, if he was really an inventor, you'd expect to find some issued patents; there are none under his name. Msnicki (talk) 17:45, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Minor industrial designer - his plug-ugly pen is well-known (amongst pen geeks), but it's only of interest to the sort of rich Juggalo who is still in awe of how magnets work. I can't think of any of his works that would count as "invention". Andy Dingley (talk) 02:07, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * His work is the field of VW Beetle restoration is fairly well known (for Type IV engines, his guides seems to be highly regarded). Is that enough to tip it? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:23, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete as per Msnicki. Non-notable at best. Edward321 (talk) 01:40, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
