I can't find anything on him besides having published some papers, like pretty much any academic. In a cursory review none of them even had him as the first author. Jerod Lycett (talk) 05:18, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Provisional~~ Delete. I can't see a pass of WP:Prof. Not sure about WP:Author. I always have suspicions about people styled as Dr or Prof as the genuine articles don't do that. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:54, 3 January 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. Nothing really written about him in reliable secondary sources, and the article is written in a very promotional and personal tone.Citing (talk) 17:05, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If there's notability, the article doesn't make the case for it. Regarding the question of NAUTHOR, his book is published by Linus Learning, which appears to be a vanity publisher. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 18:12, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing here suggests a pass of WP:PROF or other notability criterion. There's a brief puff piece on him in [1] and other newspapers, on his role as a technical advisor to some tv shows, but it's not in-depth enough to count for notability and anyway it's only one piece. I couldn't find any reviews of the book (more important than whether it was published in the traditional model or self-published). —David Eppstein (talk) 02:40, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete doesn't appear to have garnered coverage from any real secondary reliable sources. Written by an SPA so could easily be an attempt at profile boosting. Best, GPL93 (talk) 03:49, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all the above. Offhand, I can't recall a time when an article that stuck the doctorate in the title actually deserved to be kept. XOR'easter (talk) 02:21, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this appears to be a huge mess, about non-notable teacher and police officer. There's a dearth of coverage about him. Bearian (talk) 20:18, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
