As per , criteria states that "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique."  Taillard has written works that are considered revolutionary to military strategy.  This is evidenced by the books Economics and Modern Warfare (plus the coming 2nd edition), Psychology and Modern Warfare, and Analytics and Modern Warfare.  There are also citations present in the BLP that provide irrefutable evidence of being invited to speak on this matter at universities (specifically, Madonna University), and on podcasts.  Within an interview in the award winning movie Dead Man Working, as well as the books themselves, it is confirmed that he was a consultant on these same topics with US Strategic Command as the invitation of Vice Admiral Cecil Haney in 2011, and in Washington DC at the Chief of Staff of the Army's Strategic Studies Group at the invitation of Colonel Edmund Degen.  The National Writer's Series is publishing an author's profile based on these books on Dec. 01, 2017.  This all demonstrates a range of very significant influence in the field of strategic studies that range across the academic, military, and literary industries for which there has been ongoing recognition for the last 7 years.  As per Academia.edu, his works have been cited 551 times in scholarly papers, and they are read significantly more frequently than books of similar topics according to BookMetrix.  That is solid proof of  for the developments of new concepts and theories in the field of strategic studies.  If anything, the biggest violation in the Wikipedia page is that it fails to give proper emphasis to his contributions to this field of work.  Reorganizing the article a bit to focus on his contributions and work in strategic studies would help give the article a more appropriate scope.  He was working with top US military officers across the nation to develop new methods of strategy, and then wrote three books about it which are popular enough that the publisher is starting with 2nd editions, and has spoken to universities, podcasts, and authors' groups.  If that doesn't make someone notable within the field of strategic studies, nothing does - this guy is at the top of the field within a somewhat niche but very important area of expertise.  That most definitely fits the criteria for a notable author as per Wikipedia guidelines.  That is irrefutable.  —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by
