Careful research will show that all of this writer's books are self-published; it will also show that most of the apparent third-party sources are also self-published. Neither the subject nor any of his books are notable. Skyerise (talk) 19:39, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors and United States of America. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:43, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: on attempting to notify the article creator, I discovered that the article was originally written by a sockpuppet of banned puppetmaster Ekajati. Skyerise (talk) 19:46, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As far as I can tell, both IllumiNet Press and Luxor Press are imprints of the subject. Searching for his books on Amazon and Google Books will reveal that they are really Lulu.com published. Skyerise (talk) 20:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
More detail: this seems to be an independent and complete up-to-date list of the subject's works. This site has conscientiously labelled them all "Independently published". Skyerise (talk) 18:43, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Might have a shot under AUTHOR, there are several books showing up in Gscholar. If they're all vanity press publications, likely nothing for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:29, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
