Delete, as for his military service, he's a great guy and all but he isn't notable; only a Captain and no important medals, dunno if he even has a Purple Heart, let alone something big like a Naval Cross (or whatever the big Navy thing is). As for the books, none of them appear to be bestsellers, critically acclaimed, or anything. Totally non-notable person. Dooms Day349 05:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies Wikipedia:Notability (people) -- "Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work". Also see the second paragraph of his biography (external link). SWAdair 07:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Needs editing, not deletion. Couch appears to be notable enough to me even if he wasn't an author. And is is Rear Admirals and higher for the Navy? --Hjal 08:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, claim of "multiple independent reviews or awards" made in earlier keep comment, but what source is this from? Seraphimblade 14:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above--SUIT 22:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He wrote several nonfiction books and novels which were not included in the original article. I added some reviews. Clearly notable as author of numerous books published by major publishers and reviewed favorably.Edison 22:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems to be a notable author. Amazon lists him and he's gotten good ratings.--aviper2k7 22:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
