204:) I thought I'd do a little bit of a cleanup to find sources and whatnot since some notability was asserted. However I can't really find anything as far as reliable sources go that would show that he's ultimately notable. There are some articles written by some semi-obscure college papers (which I linked to in the article), but none that would really give him enough notability to keep.
