Delete No evidence of notability found and article is a promotional piece complete with a "maybe" book cover (LOL) and quote box. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 17:32, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
Delete Entire article is WP:COPYVIO from [https://prabook.com/web/ben.guild/2464814 here]. Unless the author rewrites the article, removes all of the COPYVIO issues (including possible WP:IUP violation of the photo), and adds some more verifiable third-party sources of note, it should be deleted.

Keep. Passes WP:NAUTHOR with multiple independent reviews in RS of The Alaskan Mushroom Hunter's Guide (1977) and The Alaska Psychoactive Mushroom Handbook (1979). May also pass criteria 1 of Wikipedia:Notability (academics) Google books has snippet views of reviews in several publications, including [https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Publishers_Weekly/iv9RAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22Ben+Guild%22+%22mushroom%22&dq=%22Ben+Guild%22+%22mushroom%22&printsec=frontcover The Publishers Weekly - Volume 211 - Page 18], [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Pacific_Search/SU8lAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22Ben+Guild%22+%22mushroom%22&dq=%22Ben+Guild%22+%22mushroom%22&printsec=frontcover Pacific Search - Volume 12 - Page 27], [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Veterinary_and_Human_Toxicology/B29WAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22Ben+Guild%22+%22mushroom%22&dq=%22Ben+Guild%22+%22mushroom%22&printsec=frontcover Veterinary and Human Toxicology - Volume 23 - Page 68], etc. There are also many references which recommend these books or cite the books as an authoratitive resource if you look in google books.

*Very Weak Keep Since this person have some slight importance. But there's just not enough notability for him, literally.Ploreky^{Have a problem?} 02:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

:@Ploreky: "But there's just not enough notability for him, literally". This statement would be read by a closer as contradicting your stated !vote, and would probably result in them opting to discard your !vote, as they wouldn't be able to determine your actual intent.
:To put it a different way, saying that there isnt enough notability is an unambiguous argument to delete. Combining that with a stated !vote of "Very Weak Keep" is contradictory. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 12:14, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Weak Keep Person is important, but gives very few proof of notability. But atleast satisfy WP:GNG. Might as well mark this as stub. Ploreky^{Have a problem?} 05:39, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
