Delete. Has been publishing since 1970. GS h index = 7. Seems not to have achieved WP notability unless something else emerges. Xxanthippe (talk).

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has published three Sierra Club books, a very popular and well-received line of books in its pre-internet day. Google books search shows enough references in popular literature and in magazines like Nature to support notability, although this is an article that probably requires print resources.

Comment Apparently, there's also a businessperson by this name who isn't from Hawaii. Anyone looking for sources, shouldn't mix them up. I have insufficient information to make a decision. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:22, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Weak Keep I think he has enough books from notable publishers. But the article needs to be cleaned up badly. I am going to add edit tags accordingly. Doomsdayer520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:12, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
