Non-notable person who has published a number of religious books. Article has no third-party sources. The nearest thing I could find to third-party sources were online religious bookshops trying to sell the books. Toddy1 (talk) 21:35, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only blogs and bookstores in my search bubble, no coverage by anything close to an WP:RS. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 22:24, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Here is one book review in reliable sources. Maybe there are other reviews? His book Inside Islam: A Guide for Catholics was popular ca. 2003 in the wake of 9/11, it is a Catholic publisher's attempt to educate curious (Catholic) readers about Islam and seems to have a fair number of mentions in a generic Google Books search. However I am not giving them much weight as they are Catholic books mostly so there is a lack of independence. -- GreenC 08:10, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A review can help establish a book's notability, but not (in general) its author's. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 14:33, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:AUTHOR #3. Book reviews determine the notability of an author. -- GreenC 19:05, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable. Fails both: WP:MUSLIM and WP:CATHOLIC. And poorly referenced. Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 17:27, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
