Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant third-party coverage. Subject has written two books, but doesn't appear to meet WP:AUTHOR. According to his CV, he is a dean's fellow and visiting professor at Cornell, but holds no highly prestigious awards or titles, so likely fails WP:NPROF. If he does meet WP:NPROF or is notable as an author, the article is still a WP:SOAPBOX as it is based entirely on primary sources (by the subject or his wife). The only secondary source is a book review, and it's not actually supporting anything. The article has been tagged for notability and lack of non-primary references for over 9 years now to no avail.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Agree that the article needs to be edited with a chainsaw. But the 1200+ citations on his book would tend to give notability via WP:NPROF C1, unless I'm missing something. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:54, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
