James Follett

The article's claim of Follett's being one of the 400s most-lent author is unverified (and I cannot find a source). Furthermore, considering the notability criteria for "creative professionals":

Regarded as an important figure or widely cited - doesn't apply
Originating a significant new concept, theory or technique - doesn't apply
created...a significant or well-known work...which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or multiple independent periodical articles - I can see no sign of this being the case
their work has become a) a significant monument b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition c) has won significant critical attention d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleris of museums, or had works in many significant libraries - ditto

So it seems to me that Follet meets none of the relevant criteria. MatthewVernon (talk) 14:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
