I created this article after the subject emailed me so as to avoid any COI issues with him creating it himself. That said, I'm not sure about notability, so I am bringing this to AFD for a wider audience. We have this brief write-up in the Southern Courier, a Sydney "community newspaper" (not sure what that means). There are also two write-ups in the (student-produced?) newspaper at the university where he used to lecture. There is an entry in a trade group's news archive. Finally, there is this mention from an alma mater.

Thoughts? I have no opinion yet. Chaser (talk) 22:24, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. No notability apparent. Royal Society of Arts has 27,000 fellows who gain that designation for a fee. Creator of article should study WP notability requirements before creating more articles. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC).

 * Delete. None of the sources appear to be reliable per WP:BIO. An encyclopaedia is only as good as its sources: without reliable sources, we have an unreliable article. --Mkativerata (talk) 05:41, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - zero reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 13:10, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
