Subject fails WP:PROF and lacks WP:RS. Conducted WP:BEFORE, but it's not that more sources will inherently push the article to keep; the subject is not notable as an academic. Longhornsg (talk) 18:34, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added twelve published reviews of four of his books to the article. It already contained one review of one. I think that's enough for WP:AUTHOR, and his work as the screenwriter for a notable movie also counts toward WP:CREATIVE (although it might not be enough by itself). The nomination argument is flawed: it is irrelevant whether a subject passes WP:PROF if we can find other criteria they pass. (Incidentally, I think the other Colin Shindler who writes about Israel may also be notable based on my finding many reviews of his books while looking for reviews of the subject.) —David Eppstein (talk) 19:52, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Enough there from what I see for WP:BASIC and WP:NAUTHOR for me. Govvy (talk) 10:19, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's a well-written, well-referenced 8000-byte article with more than 20 articles linked to it, an average of 14 views per day over the last 90 days, and it also has a disambiguation line that distinguishes this Colin Shindler from the other one, something unique to Wikipedia.

Keep as notable. I also took the liberty of moving the disamb phrase from Life and career section to the lead. Suitskvarts (talk) 11:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
