It's not clear that this person is significant or notable; No details are given about significant achievements or contributions to society. There's no sign of any sort of peer-reviewed publication or widely available or known work, or of anything significant that he's done or produced. Earlier versions of this article were speedily deleted as they made no attempt to claim significance for him. As it's just being recreated each time, I thought it best to bring it here to see if others shared my view or not. Mnemopis 22:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
