  • Delete. Subscribing to all the minor Who's Who variants (whose market is entirely the vanity of those in them) strikes me as a red flag for the motivation behind this article - David Gerard (talk) 13:39, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Just not finding much notability. There are some publications, but they're all out of print. No reviews of any of them. There's a video of him (maybe) playing Chopin at an amateur level. Looking in Google, he shows up in voter records and there's a report of an arrest (no conviction). He's Director of Library Science for the International University for Graduate Studies. That would qualify him as an academic, except that the Chronicle of Higher Education says the place is a diploma mill.[1] Also, they don't have a library; students get a subscription to Questia.

  • Delete. Invesitgating some of the sources didn't offer any indications of notability. The African American National Biography is misrepresented as "his" publication.  • DP •  {huh?} 16:30, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
