Article has many problems including a possible Conflict of Interest from User:RayKampf and possible BLP problems but ultimately it comes down to a lack of notability, and the resulting lack of references. It says (without references) that he is a Professor at Cal Polytech, but there's no reason to think he passes the Prof test. Other major claim to notability seems to be that he wrote a Master's Thesis. Smallbones (talk) 21:01, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed that it doesn't look like there's a very strong claim to notability here; the sole reference in the article is a book review — and not even a review of his book, at that, but a review of somebody else's book which merely mentions the existence of Kampf's book once or twice. So, as always, because too many people still aren't too clear on this point it bears repeating that being able to demonstrate the existence of the topic is not the same thing as demonstrating its notability. And a quick Google search isn't exactly turning up better references, either. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:29, 22 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Simply not notable enough to merit an article. CoI/BLP and referencing issues might still be significant, even if it were. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:19, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:38, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
