WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim to passage of WP:AUTHOR and no strong reliable source coverage. His only potential claim to notability is a self-published e-book on Smashwords, and the only sources here are the Smashwords profile and a Blogspot blog. As always, a writer is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- reliable source coverage, supporting a proper claim of notability, must be present before he becomes eligible for an article on here.

- Delete as I myself reviewed this at NPP and planned to nominate myself, nothing at all for any applicable notability. SwisterTwister talk 21:30, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. GS gives nothing. Fame is too slender. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:26, 25 April 2016 (UTC).
- Delete page was created by a WP:SPA [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hg2999] might be Briefer himself. CerealKillerYum (talk) 01:43, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Given that the original version of the article already linked to a site attacking the subject (a BLP violation, since it isn't a reliable source) it seems unlikely to be an autobiography. Regardless, we have no reliably published sources with in-depth and independent coverage of the subject, so no pass of WP:GNG and nothing on which to base an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:22, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - badly fails the scholar test, and there are zero Ghits at Google Scholar. Birders are not an endangered species, pardon the pub. Bearian (talk) 19:50, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
