Delete as article fails WP:AUTHOR. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 21:43, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What are you basing your judgement on? If I read WP:AUTHOR correctly, one must be "important", not just a creative professional. The Article cites nothing, was edited for the most part by IPs in the author's home town (Halifax, NS, Canada) and serves no useful purpose other than to list 'works' and direct people to the subject's website.

Delete He has written a ton of books, but I could not find anything written ABOUT those books or about him. Google search finds only his website, book sellers, and (of course) this article. Google Books find his own books but very little written about him (unless he is the drug dealer of the same name; that guy seems to be pretty notable). --MelanieN (talk) 19:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
