  • Comment: Fails WP:NAUTHOR. Book retail websites prove that he has authored books not that the books are notable or indeed the author is notable. In addition WP:NPOLITICIAN states "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability." Needs to satisify WP:GNG.
