Insufficient notability for this wiki, does not meet WP:AUTHOR.

:Note: if the article looks very short as it now stands, that is because I have commented out a good quantity of completely unreferenced material (this is, after all, a BLP). That content is of course still accessible in edit mode or through the history. I can't see the content of the previously deleted version; this could be eligible for speedy deletion as G4.

  • Delete Obscure author. Typically need some mainstream book reviews to meet AUTHOR. Maybe I am missing it but can't find any. Based on the [http://www.amazon.com/Ambition-Stephen-Maitland-Lewis/dp/0983259658 bio at Amazon] he is a businessman from LA with blurbs the Mayor of LA etc.. the book awards are not significant and one USA Best Book Awards is a vanity award. His publisher [http://www.gepress.com/ Glyd-Evans] has a catalog of 6 books of which Maitland's comprise 3. -- GreenC 23:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
