Apparent autobiography by subject. There is sufficient indication of significance that I didn't tag for speedy deletion, but there is a serious lack of independent sources to indicate notability. Subject/editor removed prod tag. RL0919 (talk) 15:33, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - original research and lack of notability; in addition, it does not appear to be possible to verify the accuracy of the sources, as the article contains only references that are contained in unpublished manuscripts. His name is too common to do an easy search online. Bearian (talk) 20:09, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unverified, and even if everything the article says is true, it's difficult to see what would qualify him as notable. --MelanieN (talk) 00:11, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing indicates this person meets WP:GNG. Novaseminary (talk) 03:07, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
