Skookum Maguire[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. His titles were all released by print on demand houses rather than established publishing companies, according to his own website, and the strongest claim of notability is that he won a minor literary award for one of them -- but while a major literary award on the order of the Pulitzer or the National Book Awards constitutes an AUTHOR pass for its winners, the "Next Generation Indie Book Award" does not. And the only "references" here are the website of that non-notable award and the sales pages of his books on amazon.com or iUniverse -- which means that WP:GNG has not been met, as no reliable source coverage about him in media has been shown.

Delete I originally nominated this for speedy deletion at NPP, and, although it's been improved a fair bit since then, I still don't believe that it's received enough coverage to satisfy GNG. Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 08:11, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nothing currently convincing of the needed notability, there's nothing else to suggest convincingly keeping. SwisterTwister talk 04:33, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
