This article is about a teacher and author that does not establish notability. as a teacher, the primary claim to notability would seem to rest with being an "efellow" of CORE. All I could find in terms of coverage was this press release. As an author, he has published four books. None of them have received any coverage in independent reliable sources. The first two were through iUniverse, a self-publishing firm. The third was through Mundania Press which does not appear to be a self-publishing firm, but is a very small press. The last is through Lulu which is self-publishing. Note that his book, Quantum Ghosts is already nominated for deletion in a separate AFD. Whpq (talk) 18:32, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I did a search on this gentleman and his work in connection with the Quantum Ghosts AfD and found essentially what the nominator has noted -- almost nothing that contributes to notability and no reliable sources.  Ubelowme U  Me  19:31, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete There is a biographical sketch on the CORE 2010 e-fellows page, but that doesn't seem enough to meet WP:BIO and nor do his books, unless independent 3rd party reviews can be located. AllyD (talk) 19:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
