Though appears to be extensively referenced at first glance, a closer look reveals that most of the sources are primary (subject's own writing, subject's own blog posts); outside of that, he's quoted for a few sentences in a New York Post article about interpretations of Dan Brown's novel. Bottom line, I'm not seeing much non-trivial third party reliable source coverage. Aside from editors doing general maintenance, article entirely written by an editors with few edits outside of this article. OhNo itsJamie Talk 14:30, 10 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. I came across this earlier and thought I'd come back to turn what appeared to be a fan site into a proper WP entry. The subject is non-notable and I agree about the quality of the sources. I'd only underscore the blog posts used as sources. The subject's own blog posts. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 16:24, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete A clear-cut case of a promotional article; there's no real evidence that the rest of the world cares about this fellow's blogs and the like. Mangoe (talk) 18:05, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
