Notability, perhaps BLP1E. The only two reliable, secondary sources I could find on this author concentrate on his autobiographical claims of having slept with both the parents of some singer (see reference on the article, and [1]). That doesn't appear to rise to WP:AUTHOR, etc. joe deckertalk to me 19:44, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Self-published author. I was unable to find any WP:RS:reliable sources that discuss him or his books, other than two passing mentions in Spanish. Cullen328 (talk) 18:18, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I agree with Joe's assessment that the sources cited in the nomination are insufficient for the general notability guideline and WP:AUTHOR both; I wasn't able to find anything else that might help establish notability. Someone must be buying his books, though; it looks like he's about to release the eighth volume of his "Romeo and Juliet" series. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 20:46, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
