The result was Speedy delete a7. No indication that author has been recognized as notable by independent sources, see WP:V. "Read the book and decide if it's worthy" is not how we decide these things. Also, this is apparently the author promoting himself. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:38, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Not a notable person. Tyros1972 Talk 11:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Why don't you read the book, then decide if his talent and contribution to literature makes this author worthy of note? To have a book published by a reputable publisher incurs a certain amount of de facto notoriety. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lpaulwalkerjr (talk • contribs) 15:52, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Strong Delete - I am seeing positive proof of WP:COI between subject and article's author (they appear to be one and the same). Additionally, preceding comment rests upon subjective criteria such as 'talent' and 'contribution to literature'. Eddie.willers (talk) 19:06, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
