Found while working on the backlog in CAT:CSD, speedy reason was Not NOtable, this is not a valid speedy reason, and I can't find any other to delete it under. No Stance —— Eagle (ask me for help) 05:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's written books and been consulted by a government for his expertise. ...  disco spinster   talk  18:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The reasons for keeping the article given by the above Keep vote do not confer notability.
 * Delete I'm not convinced. (1) This page says he has "top secret clearance" - not something one generally announces in a public domain encyclopedia is it? (2) I have checked with SDSU. They have confirmed that they have a part-time faculty teacher there by that name but he is NOT a professor. (3) I checked on amazon.com - no sign of his books. (4) I have checked my University library - nothing on him. DrKiernan 09:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - take your choice: either linkspam or unnotable hoax. One definitely doesn't advertise his security clearance in the Internet (or anywhere else, for that matter). No evidence of the "existence" of the books. Not only does it fail the "smell test," there is no evidence of the subject existing to the point of passing WP:PROF even if he does.

 * Comment. FWIW, I've found some of his books on worldcat.org (here and here). ...  disco spinster   talk  13:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
