Article was created yesterday, it is one of several articles created by user:Leadersproject. Comes off as something of a CV, and is rather peacock flavored. Multiple issues here - they are listed in a template on the article page - boils down to little notability demonstrated with no reliable sources to back it up. Bringing here because assertion of notability voids a speedy, and it may be too controversial for WP:PROD.  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 16:10, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A fairly lousy article, but I think that it isn't a hoax. He seems fairly notable, although many of his academic achievements appear to be hard to verify - he is in a specialized field, and many happened pre-Internet. It is clear that he was a researcher, probably even a prominent one, in his field for some years. I would recommend cutting back the article drastically, but I wouldn't delete it.
