Biography probably written by someone at HarperCollins who publish the guy's work. Is he notable? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:47, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

• Rewrite If not deleted it needs a rewrite to remove the promotional tone and wikify. Mattie^TK 12:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - not notable. Fails WP:BIO. Article also appears to be an advertisement for this person. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 03:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Delete at present it would seem to fail the notability and verifiability criteria for inclusion not to mention the "advertising" nature of many of these articles. Although, I can find lots of 3rd party stuff that quotes him none of the coverage appears to actually be about him in the significan non-trivial way that is required for inclusion.

• Keep. I added some references, including one in the Los Angeles Times. --Eastmain (talk) 16:32, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:I'm sorry. Although I appreciate you adding a source, it still looks to be about someone else and not about the subject of the article. Where does the article you added cover Mr. Kessel in somesort of detail (as opposed to Mills or Orcutt)? Jasynnash2 (talk) 08:02, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

• Weak delete. As Jasynnash mentioned, the references seem to be tangential. Stifle (talk) 11:43, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
