The subject of this biography does not meet inclusion criteria. The only claims of notability include publishing two books (which appear to be self-published and non-notable) and a website which is claimed to have won some local/minor internet awards.

Delete. For the reasons stated by Edgeweyes (talk). David.thompson.esq (talk) 17:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The website referred to in the nomination, panique.com.au, appears to have been repeatedly added to Wikipedia articles (LinkSearch results). Most, if not all, the links were added by the same editor who created this biography. I think there is a strong chance that there is self-promotional activity involved. As for the article, I recommend Delete as non-notable per Wikipedia:Notability (people). Deli nk (talk) 18:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I have tried searching for references to support the subject's notability unfortunately I have to conclude that it fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG. Dan arndt (talk) 13:46, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as Books, browser, Highbeam and Scholar all found some links but certainly not enough convincing. Pinging interested users DGG and Hamiltonstone. SwisterTwister talk 05:25, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
