This article has been unsourced since its creation in 2009, so has no evidence of notability or even existence. Googling shows no convincing sources for this person. The details of cause of death, names of children and parents, were added without edit summary or source by an IP editor one day in April 2009: no evidence to support them. No dates, no evidence that he is dead, so might be an unsourced BLP. Has been nominated for Speedy deletion and PROD in the past, but was kept. I suggest it's now time to delete this article unless sources can be found to support it, after four years. Pam D  23:43, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete: Given the lack of tangible information in the text, one cannot know whether this person is alive or dead. The original article was in present tense, and looks as though its primary purpose was to present some poetry (subsequently deleted). Searches are turning up nothing about this person and WP really shouldn't be hosting unreferenced biographies. AllyD (talk) 08:44, 17 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - Unsourced and I can find no sources. There isn't even a good claim to notability asserted in the article. -- Whpq (talk) 13:33, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
