Not notable, Under name search, GNews has only one entry, which is self-labelled as "local." No significant hits in GBooks or GHits. Under search of "Stamps Magazine" & "Leszak", no in-depth coverage, mere slight mentions of the magazine and him as editor. Fails both WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR.

  • Comment Sources found Leszak is a stamp dealer from Buffalo. He was the co-chairman of the 2000 National Topical Stamp Show. He has written many articles published in the periodical Stamps (ISSN: 0038-9358) published by American Publishing Company. This appears to be a major periodical as it was up to volume 255 in 1996, beyond that I can't tell. I can't tell if this is the same magazine the article claims he was editor of. If so it might be notable but the sources are slim. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:43, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete: It appears the subject has written plenty of articles, but I can't find a single reliable, independent source about the man himself. Thus this fails the WP:GNG criteria for lack of significant coverage. --Batard0 (talk) 12:39, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
