Thinly sourced--at best -- biography of a minor--at best--environmental writer. No real claims of importance, impact, or notoriety can be found, other that he's been published by a trade/specialist press. CalendarWatcher (talk) 11:12, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Multiple serious/scholarly books from reputable publishers. Worldcat search shows extensive library holdings of his books, particularly in academic libraries. GNews search shows a lot of apparently substantive coverage, almost exclusively in Spanish-language media. GScholar turns up more than enough hits to convince me that he should be presumed notable absent a convincing case otherwise. "Minor" doesn't translate to "not notable," even assuming that characterization is accurate. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 16:28, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per HW -- notable author with extensive coverage. Johnfos (talk) 00:38, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
