Reasonable minds can differ, and candidly, I think that a rigorous application of our notability guidelines might well leave the subject out in the cold. However, given that he is, to my estimation, close to notability, and given a strong internet presence in sources that, while perhaps not wp:reliable sources|reliable are independant of the subject, I'm willing to do a bit of bending the guidelines here. For policy purposes I guess you could say its a bit of |ignoring the rules to reach a reasonable result, because I think there is enough verifiable information out there to write a decent article
