Keep Yahoo News , Californiaherald , londondailypost , london-post Uk all are reliable source of Information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Litbeby (talk • contribs) 14:39, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong, not a single one of those is a reliable source and in fact, most should be blacklisted. The yahoo piece is just a press release. Praxidicae (talk) 15:27, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Those references are all highly suspect: for example, the "real" Daily Post hasn't existed for nearly 250 years. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 16:19, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable writer, found coverage on web. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twerk000 (talk • contribs) 11:14, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You wanna provide those sources or just keep throwing out nonsense !votes? Praxidicae (talk) 12:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All references are either press releases or from pay-for-coverage sites. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:42, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - authors are not automatically notable, and most are run of the mill like this person. The amount of PR and unreliable sources makes me suspicious; there's zero good evidence of writing an actual bestseller. Since he's not notable as a writer, he needs to have significant coverage in reliable sources, which this page lacks. We are seeing a lot of crap from London Post and California Herald, neither of which are reliable and which I suspect are pay-for-lists. We are not a listing of writers nor a speakers bureau.
