I can't find any evidence of this person's notability. The name of the article's creator, Arcanus121, may imply a possible conflict of interest given that the name of one of the author's poems is "The Hymns of Arcanus". WP:N, WP:BIO. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:06, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment As I have just declined to unblock an alleged sockpuppet of him, I am merely commenting here that all the books of his that I have checked at Amazon appear to be published through XLibris, and are therefore self-published. (Earlier versions of the article mention some being published by Edwin Mellen Press.) Peridon (talk) 11:10, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. The article is completely unsourced except for his own web page. In a search of Google and Google Scholar I found literally nothing about him except this article, social media, and his own writings. --MelanieN (talk) 04:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence from independent, reliable sources to indicate notability. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 15:54, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
