Notability?

This person does not appear to be notable. His books are published by Schiffer Publishing, a company that requires authors to pay for their book to be published (see this discussion [1]). There is no evidence that his work has had sufficient wider impact to justify a Wikipedia article. Perchloric (talk) 01:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged the article for probable lack of notability, please discuss here on the talk page before removing the tag. One source was added, but as the tag notes, notability is established by "adding reliable, secondary sources about the topic", and the added source is just another collection of unverified claims. E.g. he is not the editor of the Army Officers Guide, according to Amazon. If he were notable his books would be reviewed in professional historical journals, discussed at professional historical conferences, etc. Evidence of such prominence is lacking.
