Non-notable author, article not that well sourced. Notability is not inherited from being published in a notable newspaper. Some sources cited are not WP:RS. Alison ^❤ 22:19, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Vinciguerra is the one of the founding editors of The Week, he has written many articles. essays and books. His latest book, Cast of Characters is a major work on the early years of The New Yorker Magazine. The New Yorker gave him access to their archives to write the book, which they would only give to a notable and accomplished author. If he can make numerous appearance on CSPAN, then he easily merits a Wikipedia posting. W.W. Norton published his latest book, they are an established publisher who publish only serious authors, which Mr. Vinciguerra is. The article should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GustavM (talk • contribs)

Keep given the clear notability of his latest book: New York Times [1][2]; Wall Street Journal [3]; Boston Globe [4]; Washington Post [5]; Publishers Weekly [6]. His earlier book, an edition of writings of Wolcott Gibbs, is also notable: Washington Post[7], Time [8], a New Yorker Q&A [9]. The article needs to make a better showing of notability by clear references to independent reliable sources, and the tone at times veers uncomfortably close to a P.R. bio, but those are matters to be addressed by editing, not deletion. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:58, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
