This page has no reliable, 3rd party secondary sources. A search for such showed up nothing. We have pages from his employers, and works by him, we need indepdent works about him to show notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:40, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

• delete I cannot find book reviews, profiles, or any secondary. Please feel free to ping me to reconsider if someone manages to source this, but it appears to be WP:TOOSOON for this writer.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:59, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
• Comment Some additional information and sources - he is the founder of the website HecklerSpray,[https://www.thegryphon.co.uk/2013/03/02/stuart-heritage-guardian-journalist-you-can-make-yourself-the-butt-of-your-own-jokes/][https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=69HzDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT186] listed as one of the most powerful blogs by The Observer - [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2008/mar/09/blogs] and he was listed as one of the top 100 people of London's creative industries by The Independent [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/inside-story-the-real-media-hotlist-852208.html]. There are a few articles on his book (not entirely independent but it shows media interest) - [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/dont-ponce-stu-brother-wrote-tell-all-book-one-letting-men/amp/][https://www.kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/hilarious-tale-of-growing-up-125173/] and mentioned as one of the best books of 2018 by RTE [https://www.rte.ie/culture/2018/1206/1015657-sinead-crowleys-best-books-of-2018/]. Review articles - [https://storgy.com/2017/07/11/book-review-dont-be-a-dick-pete-by-stuart-heritage/][https://culturefly.co.uk/book-review-dont-be-a-dick-pete-by-stuart-heritage/] Hzh (talk) 14:18, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

:*I had seen the reviews mentioned by Hzh in my initial search. Problem is the book reviews are on culturefly.co.uk and storgy.com which as far as I can tell, are minor websites. HecklerSpray was indeed named among [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2008/mar/09/blogs The world's 50 most powerful blogs in 2008, and I see the link Hzh provides to the student newspapers confirming that he was the founder. To me, this does not look lime notability. A local source, Kent Online wrote his book up [https://www.kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/hilarious-tale-of-growing-up-125173/ Guardian journalist Stuart Heritage publishes book 'Don't Be A D***, Pete,' about growing up in Ashford] flagged as [6] in Hzh's comment above., his source [5] is an article about the book written by his brother. I am not certain how significant source [7] is : [https://www.rte.ie/culture/2018/1206/1015657-sinead-crowleys-best-books-of-2018/ Sinead Crowley's Best Books Of 2018 ]. But overall this continues to look like it fails WP:AUTHOR. E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:21, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

::*Note that author has a new book coming out on the fall list 2019, a fact now reliably sourced on the page to The Bookseller. Perhaps page creator User:GoddessV would like to userfy this and bring it back if the author's next book gets press attention.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:29, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
