BLP unsourced and tagged for notability since 2012. Books are not widely held—bestseller maxes out at 110 libraries. Lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) czar  17:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not much to find, even in GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:18, 23 February 2017 (UTC).
 * Delete. Insufficient scholarly impact for WP:PROF and insufficient real-world impact (per WP:GNG) for his activism. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:22, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete my searches did not find reviews of his books. I am not familiar with the publishers cited.  One seems to be Eberhardt Press and the other may be Fifth Estate (periodical). Small (very small) political presses.  Not scholarly houses.  Feel free to flag me to revisit if someone finds some indication that his work has had impact.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:09, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet any of our inclusion criteria for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:45, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - he seems to have written a lot - he has a lot of works on Google scholar - but they might not have had a big impact. Bearian (talk) 04:32, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete can't find reliable source. CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   20:58, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
