Deletion of Peter Middlebrook

Comment: u|Simone2049}} claims "notability clearly established" but provides no reasoning as to why this is so. {{u|EnzoLeblanc}} is an account that appears to have been especially created to comment on this AfD and only has a total of 2 edits (yet appears familiar with WP and policies/guidelines). Nonetheless, they make the point that the individual meets  as "a notable individual in various fields and having valid and legitimate sources", but does not list any sources, and goes on to admin that the article has Primary Sources. The comments as to my motives for deletion are mischievous and without merit - I spend most of my time at AfD these days and I have no other reason to nominate this article for deletion other than it appears to be a puff piece and the purported notability of this individual does not appear to meet the criteria for notability. In a similar vein, the {{u|CarolDegrasse}} account has also been specially created to comment at this AfD and only has this single edit. Even putting aside the highly suspicious commenting at this AfD by newly created accounts, none of the Keep !votes have provided any evidence (beyond their opinion) that this article meets the criteria for notability

Comment: Among the sources cited in the article I can find nothing other than works by Middlebrook or interviewing him, not about him, and I can find no significant coverage of him elsewhere. A very professional promotional job has clearly been done on this article, so we can assume that the best available sources have been presented there. As regards , which should be checked as an editor above has claimed that Middlebrook is an academic, there are only a couple of dozen citations to his work reported by Google Scholar and none of the other ways to pass that guideline are applicable.
