This article was nominated for deletion by its own creator earlier today (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prof. Vinzelts), but no reason was given for the deletion, and the nominator withdrew the nomination. However, after reviewing the article myself, I find that the subject's notability has not been clearly established. The subject is described as a peace activist, musician, and scientist, but the sources provided appear to be links to pages on the web sites of organizations with which he is affiliated, a press release, a YouTube channel, and a broken link. No independent reliable sources have been provided, nor have I been able to find any good sources myself. If the subject really is notable, more would need to be done to establish that under WP:BIO. But based on the current content, I would recommend deletion. Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete an amazing total of 4 hits on google. If they were decent sources, I would vote keep, but all my searches turn up nothing. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 17:13, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

- That Ghana News Agency reference is the press release which I referred to above as already being included as a source in the article. If anyone has additional sources to use for the article, they should go ahead and add them to the article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:35, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
