 * Delete. Blatant self-promotion. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 12:51, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable, and self promotion. Sources provided in article are either blogs, or merely use his work, rather than provide coverage of him. I've not been able to find any other reliable sources about him either. For those !voting keep, please have a look at WP:NOTE and WP:BIO for the notability guidelines.

 * Delete - lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Terraxos (talk) 03:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – There are no sources in the article, or to be found via the usual online search engines, which suggest this individual or his work has received significant coverage. Maybe he'll warrant an article one day, but that day is yet to come.  The Parting Glass (talk) 10:21, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
