Weak keep - the bestselling book checks out. I'm not sure if that's enough coverage. Bearian (talk) 16:30, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this author had a book on the New York Times Best Seller list for 2010. "Life by Design". This subject passes WP:GNG. The article could use more WP:RS. Lightburst (talk) 00:09, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG. The sources present are just PR and non-WP:RS (e.g. RE/MAX, realtor.org). Churning out a high sales volume of a book in one particular week does not make an author notable. Fails WP:AUTHOR as work has not "won significant critical attention". ----Pontificalibus 08:31, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - once the pure PR, interview and self-written sources are removed there's nothing that satisfied all the requirements. I was surprised not to be able to find some decent reviews of either book, but was not able to do so. He appears for a few mentions in reliable publications but isn't sufficiently covered. No obvious redirect target. Nosebagbear (talk) 11:24, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The sources, excluding self written sources, are just PR. Taewangkorea (talk) 23:30, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
