I can't find no reliable and independent evidence confirming that this person ever existed. During its short existence here on Wikipedia, the article became a target of really strange editing, see for example this. I asked the article's creator for explanation, but I received no answer. I'm sorry to say that, but I suspect a hoax. Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 11:26, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax Had he really founded a magazine, and if he were known for his theory, I would expect to find some evidence of their existence, eg in the British Library index or Google. As for the man himself, a Google search takes you to some very strange places. He fails the notability test anyway - he does not even get to the starting gate for WP:ACADEMIC if nobody has heard of him. --AJHingston (talk) 12:25, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a hoax. No evidence of the book he is supposed to have written: for example, not in Cambridge University Library catalogue. Sergeant Cribb (talk) 17:24, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
