Fails WP:AUTHOR. I can't find any coverage about this author in reliable sources. The original contributor is blocked for faking references and had a history of spamming. SmartSE (talk) 22:29, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lots of coverage via blogs, Facebook, etc. but couldn't find much in the way of reliable sources, either. Doesn't pass WP:AUTHOR via WP:GNG.Jimsteele9999 (talk) 23:27, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for the above reasons. Autarch (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now. All the current press coverage is related to promotional work for the book. NOTE - The book appears to have won a regional award, and if it wins a national award or multiple regional awards, then that would bring it up to notability. But it's not there yet. --Lquilter (talk) 17:16, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Same reasons as above - non-notable, heavy on promotion, mostly created by an editor whose primary purpose was WP promotion. KarlM (talk) 23:10, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
