Delete per notability - I arrived at this page following a COI discussion and attempted to have a clear up - the more I did the more that it turn out things just where not being backed up - the 'Professor' part I found very difficult to find a source for - the vast majority of the books are self-published (he's a director of 21st Century Books) and most of the sources were to a set of websites that are all variations on a theme of 'Promote Colin Turner'. I'd like this to be looked at by some more people with a view to removing... Fayedizard (talk) 20:26, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can find no reliable sources demonstrating notability of either the author or his works. The author had brief guest appearances on Bloomberg TV segments and Jeff Randall Live, but these are opinion segments on various business topics and are not about the author's life or his books. Other sources trace back to self-published sources and press release services. In the absence of coverage in independent, reliable sources, this article fails to meet notability requirements. -- JohnDopp (talk) 21:44, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failing WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Qworty (talk) 22:24, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am presently researching international entrepreneurs of which Colin Turner was one of several in my fact finding mission. Having visited his wiki page several times in recent weeks to gather information, I was very disappointed to see a huge bulk of his content recently removed which I cannot understand. This has made my job far harder in referencing material. I cannot see any reason why this page should be deleted. I would appreciate it if a senior moderator would restore what was here before so that I can reference his material to complete my article to be published on our M&A website. -- Simplybiz 09:15, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
