Minor writer that fails WP:BIO. Article reads like an advertisement, and the writer Dan Crowe has not published anything of note. scope_creep 20:39, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The article does have some problems, however I don't have any concerns with WP:NOTADVERTISING, the sources, and, while I understand the fear, I think he is notable. PrairieKid (talk) 21:14, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete classic example of someone who has written but not been written about much. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:57, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 15:58, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The subject is not very noteworthy, by subjective standards (he's written what appears to be 3 articles total). He doesn't pass WP:ANYBIO, but that isn't a criteria for deletion. Along similar lines, this article seems to faili WP:SPIP since the only sources for the article are interviews and profiles of the author, which appears to fail the "other's have written about the subject" clause of WP:SPIP. The books by the author fail WP:BKCRIT which would indicate that the books are trivial or non-notable, and therefore the author, let alone of the EDITOR, are also most likely non-notable. Delete and move on. Chimpfunkz (talk) 16:29, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- His main claim to fame is that he edited an magazine: evidently not a successful one as it is defunct. That strikes me as NN. The alterntive might be to merge with the magazine (or vice versa). Peterkingiron (talk) 17:00, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
