Keep. He is an important author in the real estate investing community, although probably not one of the best. John Reed's criticism of Robert Allen. I should note that I own several of Allen's books, including at least one not mentioned in the article. Tangurena (talk) 05:55, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep An advertisement? The tone is not promotional. Does not fulfill any purpose? The purpose is to provide encyclopedic coverage of a prominent author. AfD is not for cleanup. Notability concerns are not raised, but because they were in the first AfD: The subject of this article meets WP:BIO easily; as a matter of fact, he has an entry at Gale Contemporary Authors.

Keep Many mentions in NYT (including Best Seller lists [1] ) . Notable in spades. Collect (talk) 14:19, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
