I don't believe he's sufficiently notable. The references are inadequate for a WP:BLP - two interviews with him and a report of an initiative which he started, but which isn't about him. Even in these, he's usually described as a "local historian". Searches found loads of run-of-the-mill book reviews, booksellers etc. but not the kind of in-depth discussion of him we usually need for an article. There are a few local newspaper sources, but nothing beyond this. Neiltonks (talk) 13:01, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:AUTHOR, WP:ANYBIO.  Author of local history books that fail to support notability; Arcadia Press is a vanity publisher of paperbacks tomes of local history lite filled with nostalgic photos of a particular town or neighborhood.  They do sell to a local market, and can be charming, but they do not confer notability on an author.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:35, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
