• Delete. He fails WP:PROF, but that's not surprising given his alternative career track. More relevantly, the "references" are uniformly about other people's contributions to the stuff he's worked on rather than any kind of reliable source about his own work. He's a crackpot, sure, but he doesn't seem to be a notable crackpot. —David Eppstein 16:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per above (although I had an amusing 5 minutes reading that article, amazing the things people will invent to "prove" their world view.... :-) --Crusio 16:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Pete.Hurd 18:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete--as the article said, he;s written a lot. As the references seem to show, nobody has noticed. Definition of non-notable. DGG (talk) 04:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete ROFL I ride his commuter bus back to Southern MD (MD 903, last one of the day). Claims to have been involved with inventing free electric generator that returns 1600% power back to grid (but held up by courts in all 50 states). His "organization" does sell them in Europe for $20k (all the French McDonalds have them), invented electric car that came in 2nd at Indy 500 (but subsequently banned), consumer electric car that cant be marketed because it needs "catalytic converter" per government, sold his designed supercomputers to the US Government but it replaced so many government computers it made management look stupid so he was asked to leave...Dont believe me? Ride that bus, sit anywhere and you will hear him for the next hour. Crackpot? you decide. Yes, I have read his work.. Lot of mind-"boggling" concepts, nothing more... Stewysmoot
• Delete Cannot find indication of notability. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 00:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
