Comment: On the one hand, he fails the relevant |notability guidelines. However, he has received coverage in the NY Times and USA Today, among others. My personal feelings is that he deserves an article, but it looks like Wikipedia guidelines are against him (though not policy). This is probably an ideal instance where |the rules should be ignored. Since I'm conflicted, I'm not arguing Keep or Delete
