Ben Caesar

The article fails to establish the notability of the subject, and lacks references to any WP:RS. He seems to be a fairly prolific author of mainly self-published and rather obscure material, but I can't find the type of in-depth coverage about him which he'd need to pass WP:NAUTHOR (or any other notability criteria).

Delete per nom, An editor keeps on adding spam links to Goodreads and a google search in an obnoxious manner, trying to cover for the fact that the author isn't notable.💵Money💵emoji💵^Talk 14:50, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ The obvious socking does not help. Apart from Goodreads, I cannot find any good source. --Randykitty (talk) 15:12, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, also Amazon.it holds NO books with that name, and it.wikipedia.org doesn't have an article for this italian writer. The goodreads profile fasinates me - none of the books appear to be availible on amazon, and don't appear on google anywhere that isn't the authors blogspot. Is it an entirely spoof goodreads account? Because that's quite interesting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joereddington (talk • contribs) 15:16, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Thats what I would say. All of the title's seem to be jokes. This is basically a troll trying to make an article about himself.💵Money💵emoji💵^Talk 15:22, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, hoax As nobody can find anything solid that even confirms that "Ben Caesar" exists, I'm changing my !vote. --Randykitty (talk) 15:27, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am also less than convinced the claims here are ture. However the claims seem to suggest Ceasar is self-published. Weather his self-published work actually meets the claims I cannot tell, but it does not rise to the level of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:28, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
