Fails WP:BIO. As it stands after looking at it about a dozen times, seems to be put up to sell his books. Would need a goodly amount of work to pass WP:BIO and BLP. scope_creep (talk) 00:34, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Current sources fail to establish notability being either minor mentions or non-independent email/interview quotes from the subject himself. Searches found more minor mentions and photo credits. Happy to reconsider if better sources are found. Gab4gab (talk) 18:29, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete per WP:PROMO with a good doze of WP:TNT. Overly promotional "tribute" article that cannot be salvaged. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:22, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
