Fails notability guidelines at WP:AUTHOR and WP:ACADEMIC. PROD contested. There's Google hits but no news, no good sources about him. When debating notability amongst authors, it's not what they write but what reliable sources write about them. The two references quotes as demonstrating his notability in the contesting of the PROD were both press releases. Ifnord (talk) 20:29, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:ACADEMIC. Mostly primary/self-published sources. – Broccoli &#38; Coffee (Oh hai) 02:11, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I couldn't find the significant independent coverage needed to meet WP:GNG and he doesn't appear to meet WP:NAUTHOR. Papaursa (talk) 21:50, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. He seems to have published a fair number of books but searching found zero reliably-published reviews of any of them. That's not a good sign for WP:AUTHOR nor WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:36, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
