Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zane B. Stein
I have added some more references.  As a creative professional, his profile fulfills . He is the first astrologer to research and write about the minor planet, Chiron and reliable independent secondary sources state that he was involved in the naming of another minor planet, Hylonome.  His work has since led to a popular new area of study in his field.  A search on the web shows that Chiron (astrology)|Chiron is now the subject of > 618k astrology articles, blogs and books etc.  His books have been translated into several languages and appear to be still in print 25 years after first publication.  The German edition is in its 4th reprint according to his publisher (that could be down to bad planning).  He is widely cited by his peers and successors (> 40 book titles listed http://zanestein.com/bio.htm here), invited to lecture at international conferences and has been granted an award for his research and education.   The combined evidence from reliable, independent sources shows that Stein is highly notable within his field.  He has also attracted attention beyond his field, even though astrology studies rarely attract reliable mainstream or scholarly coverage - no matter how popular the subject remains with the general public. Though we might reasonably question the belief that an obscure minor planet could influence us and a few editors question whether fringe practitioners should be included in Wikipedia at all, our rules were not designed to cleanse these type of articles leaving only an encyclopedia full of 'good mainstream guys
