No evidence of notability. (Sourced only to a blog and a page at the "publishersweekly" web site.) PROD was removed without any explanation. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:46, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

  • weak either way Keep (thx to added reviews) Author of fantasy fiction. Books held in 200-500 libraries in Worldcat. Published by Doubleday (respectable publisher). Two books reviewed in Booklist [http://booklistonline.com/Johannes-Cabal-The-Fear-Institute-Jonathan-L-Howard/pid=6239116], [http://booklistonline.com/Johannes-Cabal-the-Necromancer-Jonathan-L-Howard/pid=3440299]. Excerpted by NPR (for some reason) [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128194035]. Lots of fantasy fiction blogs and sites. I cannot find neutral sources, however. It's very weak for an author, and I could support either a keep or a delete with this evidence. LaMona (talk) 17:20, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Keep. I found quite a few reviews out there for his work, so he would pass notability guidelines as a whole. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:25, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are now plenty of references to reviews in reliable sources of his work, which is sufficient sourcing to write an article about him as an author.  Sandstein  07:01, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
