The article is unverifiable and notability is questionable with 52 G-hits and no G-News hits, It appears to be original research and self-promotion. It also seems unlikely that someone who only finished his master's degree four years ago would be considered "one of the greatest strategists and policy makers in international relations theory" as the article proclaims. These reasons are the original Prod reasons put out by Accurizer and Iain99. Jons63 (talk) 09:18, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged for speedy as both the logged in author, and the IP who is the only other person (?) to make significant edit have now blanked, but delete anyway as non-notable and unverifiable. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 09:34, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On second thoughts I've removed the speedy tag as the author/IP continued to edit after blanking, so may just be confused. My delete vote still stands though. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 09:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
