Non notable author. specifically: (1) His novels are almost unknown and probably self published eagles fly Alone is in 2 libraries a/c Worldcat, tide Turning is in none at all. (2) No evidence of any of his films being of the least importance--they were shown at festivals, but he only prize is a specialized prize at a festival so minor it does not even have a WP article, (3) I see no evidence that the plays were ever produced at a venue significant enough to even get into Google.

Google shows an absence of third party significant references--the only material is minor notes by local sources and his firms own press releases. Editor in chief of Manchester Union Leader would be notable ; "an editor" is not.

Not suprisingly, this appears to be an autobiography. DGG ( talk ) 00:13, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I think I have to agree with the nominator - at this point we do not have third-party reliable sources which would establish notability.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:23, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete - although for a different reason: even if everything could be sourced, this is a local reporter and editor of a seasonal, small-town paper, which has a market smaller than the whole of Washington County, Rhode Island. He previously wrote some plays that were produced locally, and was a middle-level journalist at a small city newspaper. How is that not run of the mill? How is not just a resume?

Delete WP:UNOPPOSED is enough at this point for me, but the reasoning above seems clear.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:34, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
