WP:BLP of a writer, relying entirely on primary sources with not one whit of reliable source coverage in the citation pool. Also there's an evident conflict of interest here, if you compare the creator's username to the title of the subject's forthcoming book. He might certainly qualify for an article if proper sourcing can be located and added, but he's not entitled to keep a primary-sourced promotional advertisement — so, as always, no prejudice against recreation in the future if a good version can be written, but this version is a delete.

Delete: I concur with Bearcat's analysis, and moreover could not find any significant independent coverage of this guy. No evidence he satisfies WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR. BethNaught (talk) 08:41, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No third-party reliable sources. Linking to the entry for his book in the local public library is either a joke or ... well, I can't imagine, although it's nice to see a public library getting some attention. SPA and possible COI. LaMona (talk) 01:08, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
