No indication of importance, fails WP:N. All reliable sources linked in the article are not actually coverage of the subject but coverage of organizations he was involved in. High number of self-published sources that do not establish notability. BelloWello (talk) 21:33, 8 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete: no indication that the topic meets WP:BIO, no indication of substantive third party sourcing. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 10:15, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Nominator BelloWello has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia for sock puppetry. Is this AfD still valid? OCNative (talk) 14:15, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Regardless of the nominator's status, the subject of this article fails notability. No independent reliable sourcing about him found. Claim to fame is some self-published and online books. --MelanieN (talk) 00:28, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
