Unreferenced BLP that appears to be largely autobiographical. I cannot find that Mr Glover has attracted sufficient interest for a verifiable and neutral article. Peripitus (Talk) 11:54, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. His books are listed on Amazon and despatched by Amazon (rather than a third party), so he's a properly published author. A quick look on google brings up some bits and pieces as refs. [1] [2] [3]—Preceding unsigned comment added by Szzuk (talk • contribs)

Those are mostly not usable. 1 is a blog/forum, 2 is just a link that shows a book is for sale, 3 at least has a brief statement about him. We need reliable sources writing about Gareth Glover, not reliable sources selling his books. Being a published author is not sufficient - 22:24, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Are there WP:Author guidelines? I can't find much of anything else. Szzuk (talk) 08:30, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable infodump that fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Qworty (talk) 01:27, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am tempted to invoke WP:IAR here, but it wouldn't make for a better article. I can't find anything available online about the author instead of his books. Other than knowing he exists and that he wrote these books, there is nothing else available.--v/r - T P 14:35, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
