 * Keep. Based on the books (two of them, neither of which appears to be self-published) and articles, he seems to be a legitimately notable expert at least on the subject of Aleister Crowley.--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:39, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Between the books, extensive articles both metaphysical and medical, career as lecturer, career as musician, how often his written works are quoted and/or referred to, etc, the cumulative effect is IMO one of a notable-enough person to merit an article.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 10:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Note: I'd like to note that neither of the books actually meets the notability requirement for books. I'd also like to note that almost all the sources are blurbs quite probably written by the subject of the article and published on the website of an organization of which he is a member and which has an interest in promoting the classes which he teaches within the organization. We really have no third-party sources to support either notability (i.e. no mainstream publication has taken note of this individual) or any of the biographical data.
