Non-notable author/ academic and businessman. Only three (
[1]) mentions in news outlets (and only passing mentions of him at that), a
h-index of 1 (cited 51 times) (
[2]), and minor mentions in the broader scholarship (
[3]). There is insufficient coverage in independent, reliable sources to pass any of our notability guidelines, including
WP:AUTHOR,
WP:NACADEMIC, and most importantly,
WP:BASIC.

No,
Koridas, unfortunately
passing mentionsare insufficient to establish that topic's notability. Sorry about that!

Redirect to a stub about the Wages of Sin book. There are plenty of reviews of this book.
[4][5][6][7][8] For Allen, however, I'm not seeing notability: no
WP:NAUTHOR for the single reviewed book, nor
WP:NPROF, nor GNG.

Changing to Keep. Three reviews of the earlier book, published using only middle initial, brings the subject to a pass of
WP:NAUTHOR.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Weak keep seems to be a borderline pass of
WP:AUTHOR which is generally accepted to require multiple reviews of multiple works; he has two rather well-recieved, reviewed and held works. (reviews as listed by Russ Woodroofe; library holdings appear to be
802 and
772 for his two books)
