It is verifiable that the subject is a professor at Pepperdine but with neither a title of distinction nor heavy citations (his highest citation count on Google scholar is 42) he does not appear to pass WP:PROF. It is also verifiable that he was sued for fraud, but with neither sourcing for an actual conviction for criminal wrongdoing nor any evidence of long-term and ongoing interest in the case he doesn't pass WP:CRIMINAL. As it is, the article seems aimed more at sensationalizing the lawsuit than at providing encyclopedic information about the subject. I think we're better off without it. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:37, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge anything useful about the mismanagement lawsuit, etc, into Jockeys' Guild (I don't think a redirect is called for). But I don't see the lawsuit coverage as rising to GNG for the subject here, and certainly no signs of WP:NPROF. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:44, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge into Jockeys' Guild. A professor being sued doesn't seem to be sufficiently notable for a standalone article. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:50, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
