Apparently non-notable author, I find passing mention in press releases and reviews of his books, but no significant coverage in reliable sources about him. Searching is difficult, however, given his name, maybe someone else can find what I cannot. --Nuujinn (talk) 19:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I can't find anything to establish the notability of the author but plenty to establish the notability of his books. He appears to meet criteria 3 for creative professional notability but completely fails WP:GNG. I'm going to have to go with delete. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 17:38, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Meeting criterion 3 for creative professional notability (WP:AUTHOR) sounds like a keep to me; I don't think we're required to apply whichever is more restrictive of GNG/SNG. —chaos5023 (talk) 00:59, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, we don't, but if you mean "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews," can you source which independent book or feature-length film is about his work, or cite the multiple independent periodical articles or reviews? --Nuujinn (talk) 01:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, um, no. *blush* I admit that I was taking Panyd's word for it on the "plenty to establish the notability of his books", and assuming that included periodical articles or reviews. —chaos5023 (talk) 01:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I've been trying to help reduce the backlog in unreferenced BLPs, and I couldn't find sources to establish notability for the subject. There may well be enough coverage of his books to meet #3 of the author criteria, I'll take a look and see what I can find. --Nuujinn (talk) 01:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
