Not notable. [1]. Lacks coverage about him in multiple independent reliable sources. One of a glut of of articles on seemingly non notable St Peter's College old boys. Wikipedia is not a webhost for a collection bios of a schools former students. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:37, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. GS cites [2] inadequate. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:31, 14 November 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete While I'm sympathetic to anyone who's written a paper called "COSMIC HAMLETS: 'STAR TREK VI' - CONTESTING SHAKESPEARE IN FEDERATION SPACE", he doesn't appear to meet WP:SCHOLAR or WP:WRITER. As far as I can tell, he has not written any books (the article cites a PhD thesis), held any positions that would make him notable, or received any significant honors. I can't find any reviews or other in-depth coverage of him or his work, and nothing to indicate he's more than a run-of-the-mill academic. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:59, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
