Shameless self-promotion from two COI editors. Content suggests notability, google search does not throw anything up that supports that notion. Subject has written some books which only give generic results (amazon & google book listings). There don't seem to be any independent sources discussing the author or their works.

Keep The person has recently passed away. Self promotion is no longer in order. The person is indeed an important technology author. Consensus on this exists in xTalk and Apple communities. It is useful to be able to look up the person later, if anyone finds one of his books or forum messages and wants to know more about him. The person has authored books in multiple fields, rather than "only" HyperCard or "only" Apple. There is ample reason to keep the entry. If no more votes in favour of deletion are posted here within the next 6 months, I propose to lift the Afd status and keep the article. Xtalkprogrammer (talk) 12:09, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
