Comment: I followed-up on the http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org_all&q=Dan%20Hausel#x0%253Abook-%2Cx0%253Abook%2Bx4%253Adigital%2Cx0%253Abook%2Bx4%253Athsisformat WorldCat holdings of his (many) books, and they're all low-to-mid 2 digits &ndash; very small for a fairly popular science/hobbyist topic like Amateur geology|rock-hounding. However, he is also http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Dan+Hausel%22&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1 frequently quoted in the news on technical issues in geology, e.g. in the Mail Tribune, Rocky Mountain News, and The Denver Post, which means he is ''recognized'' as an expert. The article itself is a mess of  and, if kept, all the karate stuff ''et al'' must be removed (easy to do) and some of the news sources added (also easy to do). Article will probably be a stub at that point, but this is perfectly OK

Comment: He clearly does not pass the notability criteria for martial artists ().  His martial arts claims seem of fall into the same category as the "Who's Who" ones.  I have no opinion at this time about his academic notability
