Article does not establish notability. The 3 references given include two to the subjects personal, self-published website, and one to a short bio on him as an author, from the publisher of a one of his books. The article contains no 3rd party reliable sources indicating notability. A search through the first page of Google results does not produce any substantial 3rd party coverage in reliable sources, either Tzu Zha Men (talk) 17:36, 24 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Update: [[Image:Copyright-problem.svg|left|20px|alt=|link=]] While researching reliable sources for the Michael Irving Jensen, I was looking at the references provided in the article and it seems to me that much of his "career" section was lifted, nearly verbatim, from his CV at http://www.middleeastawareness.dk/Html/cv.html. Accordingly, I've blanked that section and tagged it as a possible copyright violation. In the event that the article is kept, that section shoudl be rewritten.

 * Weak delete. He seems to be something of a go-to guy for the middle east in the Danish press. I found plenty of articles in Google news archive either by him or quoting him. But I also found little or nothing actually about him that we could use as the basis of an article. And the copyvio is a problem. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:23, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
