I am unable to find significant discussion of the individual in multiple reliable sources per WP:GNG. Also does not appear to meet criteria of WP:NACADEMIC. His work has been cited in other works, but that doesn't rise to the level of notability, I don't see anything that considers him an expert, or "When judged against the average impact of a researcher in his or her field, does this researcher stand out as clearly more notable or more accomplished than others in the field?" ... discospinster _talk 01:57, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Relies entirely upon what appears to be a self-published profile and some mentions in academic texts that can't be verified. Doesn't meet WP:PROF. Famousdog (woof)(grrr) 12:17, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As the creator of the article I agree that he probably doesn't really meet WP's notability standards, however I have no connection with him and a quick Google book search will verify what the article says. That's how I wrote it. :-). PopSci (talk) 04:10, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you start the article is you knew he was not notable?

To get rid of a red link where he is quoted in another article. My original Google search seemed to show he was more notable than he turned out to be.PopSci (talk) 12:58, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
