Scientist whose claim of notability as an academic is unsupported. I cannot find any significant coverage of his work in reliable sources. Article claims he is "best known" for a book which was published this month, which is dubious. Note: article was originally a WP:BLPPROD, but the tag was removed indicating that it was "invalid"; while the article does contain external links, all of these are to primary sources (i.e., his works) and support none of the actual biographical prose of the article, so ultimately this is an unsourced BLP.
