Vanity page, no mention of this "critically acclaimed" philosopher's work anywhere. The book reviews at the bottom are from what appear to be pay-for-review sites, so this article also does not meet WP:AUTHOR. - car chasm (talk) 07:30, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete after some investigation, no way to verify, notability guidelines not met. —siro χ o 10:48, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Searches for the name mostly turn up other people with similar names. Searches for the publications turn up enough to verify existence but not significant coverage by reliable sources. Notability is not demonstrated. Seems promotional. Author is pretty much an SPA. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:07, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, Emile Benoit should be redirected back to Émile Benoît. DanielRigal (talk) 12:09, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I find his books in Gboks, some mentions of a professor in 1972 with the same name (but the subject here would be 9 yrs old). Having other best-selling authors on the NYTimes book list like your work is fine, but "famous people liking my work" is notability-by-association. I couldn't find critical reviews of his works, or much of anything really. Oaktree b (talk) 15:15, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
