 * Delete - No authoritative references are provided to support notability. Just because the guy has done some work doesn't make him notable.--Rpclod (talk) 02:12, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- promotional 'cruft, and quite blatant at that. Excluded per WP:NOTSPAM and notability not inherited from notable entities he worked with. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:07, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
