The article makes little claim of notability, and the sources provided are two primary sources from institutions with which the subject is involved and a local newspaper that quotes him—my son is regularly quoted in the main newspaper serving a community several times the size of Concord, NH, but that's because he plays football with one of its reporters, not because he is notable. The only other potential source that I can find is this short piece in The Boston Globe. I don't think that that's enough to get through the general notability guideline.

 * Delete - lacks significant coverage, which is quite telling, considering the carpetbombing-level of media coverage of political consulting this past election cycle. Disclosure: I am a NN political consultant, too, but on the other side. Bearian (talk) 22:29, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, borderline biospam, dubious notability (book is self-published!). Hairhorn (talk) 03:15, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, I agree with Hairhorn, the book is self published and it should be deleted. Pigsbiy66 (talk) 11:05, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
