I don't know anything about this, I am just rescuing it from speedy, it seems that there is at least enough assertion of notability to make it worth looking at and not speedying. Herostratus 18:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• No vote as nominator, I haven't looked into it, I'm not recommending on it one way or the other. Herostratus 18:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. I can't really find much about this person on Amazon.com, but that doesn't mean he might be notable. I know nothing about his field of research. --BWD ^(talk) 18:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems to sneak into WP:BIO, IMHO. Colonel Tom 01:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, appears to be a team member and a researcher in a niche field. Popular and veriified published author would meet WP:BIO, this misses by some way. Deizio 13:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Deizio. (Note: I originally tagged the article for speedy deletion after removing this vandalism. Although it was vandalism and assumes bad faith, it may be a valid point!) Waggers 09:57, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not even cited as co-author on three volumes (extensive?). H Bruthzoo 10:05, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
