Unable to find any sources that establish notability - fails WP:GNG and potentially WP:NACADEMIC. HunterM267 ^talk 19:57, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Appears to have been long maintained as a resume listing by the subject. 2601:188:180:11F0:CDA0:623:849E:B032 (talk) 19:59, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He's not Prem Das Rai, and he's not Paul C. Adams either, although the second one took longer to figure out than the first. There's some mentions in woo type books, but they seems to be fairly passing and primarily about other people where this guy is on the sidelines. I can't really tell if any of his tapes are really things or just fairly amateur recordings. Some of them are apparently "published" by the Esalen Institute, which is pretty woo. The other publishers I couldn't really tell you anything about. His publications look to be either self-published or otherwise fairly fringy not-terribly-important works overall. His website, phew boy. But overall from what I can tell, he tinkered in electronics, did drugs, decided to go to India, then Mexico, and then became a professional back country hiker...and...guy who writes about how radar, quantum physics, and our innermost desires explain UFOs. Also shameless self-promotion is shameless. GMG ^talk 20:15, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Interesting how DuckDuckGo returns more hits for an insurance agent by the same name than for the subject of this article. PCHS-NJROTC ^{(Messages)Have a blessed day.} 03:07, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sounds like an interesting guy, but I can't find any evidence that he meets the GNG. Looks like a vanity piece/resume. — sparklism ^hey! 12:05, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not suitable for encyclopedia. Dial911 (talk) 04:16, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE- Doesn't meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:ACADEMIC. Let's not forget that Wikipedia is WP:NOTPROMO. Jmertel23 (talk)•
