Comment: There is a lot to digest here, firstly the note relating to my abuse of :  When looking for references to prove notability I look for references that comply with .  I had read the 3 articles nominated which speak more of the diet that Klaper is promoting that it does about him.  They are certainly not articles that contain Significant coverage that address the topic in detail.  All I can glean from those articles is that Klaper is a former anesthesiologist who switched to general practice and nutritions and that he is promoting a vegan diet, and that he has been a vegan since 1981.  He has been nutrition adviser to NASA and appeared in 2 films.  Only the NZ Herald story is primarily about Klaper and it is a soft interview that is promoting his speaking tour; that article too, says more about the diet he is promoting than the man himself.  Relying on those articles to prove notability smells like .  As far as  is concerned, a single mention in this way in a book on page 228, sounds like a passing mention in a book devoted to a seperate topic in which Klaper does not appear to rate any more than this mention.  I have seen no evidence that he is an important author or widely cited by by his peers. Two books do not make a significant body of work.  A large number of references have been added that I will look at and address in a seperate comment

Comment: Nominator appears not to have followed . Contrary to their statement that there is "no substantial coverage in independent reliable sources", such coverage can be found in the following sources, among others: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1989-09-05/features/8901100810_1_vegetarian-ocala-national-forest-gentle-people/2 http://articles.latimes.com/1991-04-23/news/vw-785_1_animal-flesh https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11945058 He was also described in 2004 as one of several "leading advocates of vegetarianism (or veganism)." https://books.google.com/books?id=0AiAz62C_jcC See page 238. It is evident that he meets  and  as he appears to be regarded as an "important figure" (NAUTHOR criterion 1) and there is |significant coverage of him in independent reliable sources
