I cannot find sources establishing the notability of this person. Their ideas seem to be WP:FRINGE (e.g. the magnetic field of the earth unifies the hearts of all humanity into a "global consciousness") but there's little engagement with them by reliable sources. The existing article has few citations and none of them establish notability. I can't find secondary sources documenting this person's history or work. Chase Kanipe ( talk) 14:28, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Doesn't pass AUTHOR as I can find no book reviews. This is about the best otherwise [1] talks about him visiting a local conference centre but has some biographical info. Just not enough RS here. Oaktree b ( talk) 14:36, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: I was unable to find reliable sources on the subject. NYTimes or BBC these were only mentions. Yolandagonzales ( talk) 16:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. WP:BLP, WP:FRINGE, WP:SOAP, and WP:SIGCOV all essentially stack against this page. Extraordinary claims by - or more importantly about - a living person requires extraordinary proof. Being interviewed by an "entertainment" show or speaking at one convention does not make a person automatically notable. If his works had been reviewed by legitimate sources (cf. Erich von Däniken), then I'd lean keep. This guy isn't even close. We are not a free web host for every writer, and in 2024, everyone knows that. Protect against further creation.
