Non-notable public speaker. Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  22:55, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Note Wrote "The Brain Book" which reaches 168K on Amazon -- not exactly a major selling book. It was published by Routledge - but scarcely any information about the person is to be found.  Other than on his own website, of course. "Creative Manager" is from "Unwin Paperbacks" -  at about 3 million at Amazon, and utterly un-notable.   The rest seems even less notable - I would lean to delete here - one known book in a field != much. Collect (talk) 23:34, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The article doesn't come close to listing all of his books, but none of them seem to have attracted much independent coverage. Non-notable. --MelanieN (talk) 20:23, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I've found many websites saying he's acclaimed for this and that, but they're ones like motivational speaker registers which appear to be self-promotion vehicles. Have found nothing truly independent that indicates notability.--A bit iffy (talk) 23:30, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, this might be a case where the book is more notable than the author. Everything I can find that might assert notability looks suspiciously like marketing copy.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:31, 27 January 2013 (UTC).
