The result was delete. No reason to keep the subject that is enshrined in policy or an established guideline has been provided, so despite the very limited input (that was not helped by relisting), I am yielding to the in-depth analysis of LaMona with a nod to the deletion of the subject in 2010 per AFD process.

 * Delete In spite of his library holdings, I was only able to find one review, in Publisher's Weekly, for any of his books (which I added). Not even Kirkus or Library Journal, so it isn't clear how his books got into libraries. (Note, his Amazon page shows an LJ review blurb, but I cannot find it on LJ itself, and there's no real citation to follow). The publisher of both of his books is 7 Stories Press, a small publisher. On his Amazon page he is listed as being an "independent economist" and "visiting fellow at the Ashcroft International Business School at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, England,..., and is on the faculty at the East West Sanctuary in Nagykovácsi, Hungary." His book "Mindfulness" has all of 12 cites, some of which look fring-y. So I'm not seeing WP:ACADEMICS and I also don't get WP:AUTHOR from this. It also says that he "specializ[es] in non-orthodox approaches to political economy", so I'm wondering if what we have here isn't WP:FRINGE. Again, I can't explain the library holdings, which seem high, especially in light of the small press and lack of reviews. LaMona (talk) 00:15, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
