Subject does not seem notable enough to warrant an article. Page created and majority of edits made by SPA/one-off editor with no other contributions. Formatting and content is poor/unencyclopaedic, too much irrelevant and unreferenced info and feels like a vanity page. Rayman60 (talk) 15:02, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. I don't think FRSC is selective enough to count for WP:PROF#C3 (it appears to be open to anyone with five years' working experience and two friends to vouch for them, rather than being limited to a small percentage of membership as most highly selective "fellow" statuses are). His photography books don't seem to have attracted any independent reviews that would help him pass WP:CREATIVE. And I don't see anything else in the article that could indicate notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:32, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment -- Unless his patents for holograms are key ones in the field, I see nothing notable in the biography, which was apparently largely written by someone who has made no other contributiuon to WP in the 5 years sicne he wrote it. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:40, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Looks just like a self employed person. SPA must return and fix refs/article or expect delete. Szzuk (talk) 21:02, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
