  • Comment The problem I have with this subject is that I can't determine whether he is notable or not. The guy has written a lot of books, none of which I have heard of -- but this doesn't mean anything. None of them are cited in Misplaced Pages articles -- but, again, this doesn't mean anything. This is really a case where I have to rely on just how much I trust the judgment of my fellow Wikipedians. If this article has been the target of any OTRS tickets, maybe the best solution would be to delete it. But I suspect there are countless articles in the same state as this one: possibly undesirable articles which only an expert can determine whether they should be kept or deleted.
