This article has been the site of spammy promotion for months now -- SPAs show up to make big additions lacking appropriate sources. What this means is that, if he were in fact notable, we would surely have seen sources for it by now -- and since we don't see the sources we should conclude he is not notable (fails e.g. WP:ANYBIO) and delete. There is a small number of other sources available -- an article in the Guardian, for example -- but giving only incidental mentions rather than extended treatment.
