:({{Find sources AFD|title=Sean Barron}})

Fails WP:GNG and WP:WRITER. I wasn't able to find any coverage of him in reliable secondary sources. The article relies too heavily on primary sources (which can't be used to establish notability), with three of the five cited sources having been written by him and one being an article from the student newspaper of the university he attended (which is not independent of him and can't be used to establish notability). The article currently cites only one independent source, a local news article. His only claims to notability are co-authoring two books (neither one notable) and writing for a local newspaper; all of this received only minor local coverage in his hometown.

• Keep. I rescued the two broken references, and I think that they together establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:13, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
• :No, I don't think one article in the locals news counts as significant coverage. The Jambar article is published by his Alma Mater and is not independent of him. Multiple independent secondary sources are required to establish notability, not just one. Baronet13 (talk) 17:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

::Keep per sources identified by Adler3, amounts to SIGCOV, GNG simply met Jack4576 (talk) 05:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

*Weak keep. Here is another source [https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/autism-more-than-meets-the-eye/] which mentions Barron by name and discusses the content of the book that Barron wrote. I would say that this barely meets the threshold for in-depth. Adler3 (talk) 03:53, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

• :It has one paragraph about his book. I don't think that, and a local news article, is enough to meet WP:GNG requirements. Baronet13 (talk) 06:28, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
• Delete BLP, fails GNG and BIO. Source eval:

:* This [https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/autism-more-than-meets-the-eye/] is a brief mention list from the subjects book. "Sean Barron argue that it’s possible for people with ASD to learn strategies they can apply across a wide range of social situations. They note the following ten “unwritten rules of social relationships”:". Fails SIGCOV, does not address the subject directly and indepth.

:I looked to see if I could find sources for the subjects work, and found the following:

:* Book Review in NLM database: Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships: Decoding Social Mysteries Through Autism's Unique Perspective [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7672013/], original here [https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.615151/full]. This is one source with SIGCOV about the work of the subject.

:* Book review: Unwritten Rules of Social... [https://www.specialneedsbookreview.com/2017/10/10/unwritten-rules-of-social-relationships-2nd-edition-by-dr-temple-grandin-and-sean-barron/]. Site does allow reader reviews [https://www.specialneedsbookreview.com/faq/] and this appears to be one.

:This is not enough to meet NAUTHOR.

:WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).  // Timothy :: talk  00:04, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
