Closer's notes
The only argument raised in this debate was verifiability. Some people said that in the absence of sources, it should be deleted. Others said that it should be kept, unless no sources could be provided. Thus everyone was essentially advancing the same proposition.
With this in mind, I found some sources which cite the books written by the subject, they are mentioned on talk. Since all concerns with the article have now been satisfied, the conclusion of the debate is to keep the article.

  • Keep unless the article is a hoax (it does need sources) then I believe "His work in the area was cited by the Carter Commission on Foreign Languages and read into the Congressional Record in 1979" is plenty of notability. Gwernol 22:43, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep if can be verified, but article needs editing, e.g. sentences need subjects, etc. (Although being read into the Congressional Record isn't necessarily noteworthy, considering how much trivial material is read into the record.)BehroozZ 23:31, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, I tried Google, but I cannot verify the content of the article and it has no references. I did find evidence that the person exists, but not that he did the things that the article claims. I suspect it might be an exaggeration. -- Kjkolb 09:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, add sources for verification. --MaNeMeBasat 15:26, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, lacks source OSU80 03:36, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
