Weak Keep I found a couple of sources [1] [2] that seem to quote him authoritatively, and while not as good as articles actually about him, it was more then a passing reference. I think they do tend to show that he is borderline notable. Monty ₈₄₅ 17:37, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not notable. There's a section of the notability guideline that addresses sources that quote people based on their association with an organization, the gist of which is that such mentions don't establish the person's notability, but I can't seem to locate it. If the sources are all "Mr. Crook said..." then delete the article. Harley Hudson (talk) 17:53, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
