This article is heavily promotional in tone. Douglas Graham seems to have very little biographical coverage in secondary sources. Google Books turns up a couple mentions, but they seem to be mostly in passing. News archive search turns up nothing. The current links in the article are to blog or forum sites.

Weak Delete Very little coverage of the subject per se, failing WP:GNG. I conclude that WP:AUTH has failed as well, mainly b/c of difficulty finding reviews of his most prominent book, the 80/10/10 Diet. (held in approximately 60 Worldcat libraries). I did find this article detailing a cult-like group of 1700 people or so who follow his diet, which is certainly suggestive, but does not constitute significant in-depth coverage of his work.

Keep - article needs improving not deleting. He is a notable vegan/raw food/healthy living author with a top selling book The 80/10/10 Diet. Nirvana2013 (talk) 16:32, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
