This article is completely unsourced. While the subject appears to be notable, it is hard to determine based on WP's notability guidelines. Onel5969 (talk) 13:33, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete I agree with nom - this person seems to be quite accomplished, but I can find no 3rd-party sources. The article itself has existed since 2008 (created by an SPA) without references. In some versions of the article great detail is given about family life that could only have been added by a close acquaintance. Other versions had extremely long bibliographies. He is the founder of a company [1] run by his sons. I can find evidence of his articles in GScholar, but they have very low citation rates. It seems like it should be possible to establish notability for this person, but I simply cannot. LaMona (talk) 03:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
