This has been deleted multiple times in the past so I suggest deleting and salting. This page was userfied and then moved back into the mainspace without any major changes after the userfied copy was put up for MfD. (See here.)  Them From  Space  10:56, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete for reasons already stated. But I would also add that this article previously had an image of its subject which was deleted from Commons, so it disappeared. It now has an image of the subject, File:PeterN1.jpg. It was uploaded to Wiki by User talk:Leghari k who claimed it was GFDL-self but he did not create the image and does not own the copyright to it.
