We received an inquiry about this article via OTRS 2014041510022021, which prompted me to take a closer look at it. It doesn't look to me like this guy passes WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. His books were either printed by a very small or even self-owned press (See [1]), and his awards seem very regional. I simply can't find enough to verify notability. If we do wind up finding enough to keep it, it needs to be cleaned a bit - with content like "due to his expansive knowledge of the subject", it truly does come across as a promotional piece.
