Not notable. I could not find significant coverage of the subject by independent reliable sources. I would not object to a redirect to the article about his company Hortapharm B.V., as was done with his business partner, see Articles for deletion/David Paul Watson.

 * Google Scholar results show a low-to-moderate number of citations for his three books. Maybe someone with a more sophisticated search tool can determine whether he meets the criteria of WP:ACADEMIC. Search parameter would be Clarke RC. --MelanieN (talk) 19:44, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm not seeing the significant coverage in reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Does not meet WP:ACADEMIC or WP:AUTHOR. IRWolfie- (talk) 19:28, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Vjiced. Withdrawing my keep. See redirect note below.AuthorAuthor (talk) 01:44, 20 September 2012 (UTC) I found several more citations from reliable sources under the name Rob Clarke. He appears to meet WP:GNG. AuthorAuthor (talk) 18:00, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you share some of them that you say you found, specifically those that show significant coverage. IRWolfie- (talk) 22:10, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to, or Merge with, Hortapharm B.V. article. A Wiki page about David Paul Watson, who appears to be partners with Clarke, was redirected to Hortapharm B.V.. Clarke is mentioned in articles (mostly trade publications) as a co-founder of Hortapharm. Clarke's book Hashish! seems to be his biggest claim to fame.
