BLP without a single secondary independent source. All that I've verified is he's the author of four books and some articles, all primary / non-independent. He may meet WP:NAUTHOR but the bulk of the BLP is unsourced / fails WP:V and a quick look didn't find sources Widefox; talk 21:14, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

delete per nom, I'm finding other people of the same name. I can't find much on the books, perhaps there's stuff on them I've missed - David Gerard (talk) 07:40, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Searched for additional reliable sources to back up the information in the lead and "early life and education section" and simply couldn't find anything that wasn't a self-published source. Looking at the references on the page they are largely articles written by the subject, but none of these sources describe the author from a BLP perspective. Doesn't seem to meet WP:V and therefore, delete. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 23:52, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there are still no major publications or library holdings, nothing else here is actually convincing, I'll note the article itself is even focusing with PR aspects by going to specifications about his other things and activities. SwisterTwister talk 00:00, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
