Original research. Notability not established per Wikipedia:BIO DavidTTTaylor (talk) 15:33, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - I'm seeing a few mainstream RS references for this guy, including a fairly significant Chicago Sun Times article. I think this guy probably meets notability requirements. The article does obviously have problems though, and this could be a potential candidate for a clean up delete per WP:TNT. NickCT (talk) 16:00, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I am not sure how notable his awards are, but I think he passes.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:57, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, good deal of secondary source coverage here. — Cirt (talk) 15:38, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don;t believe that's correct. Of the 6 soruces cited, 1 is original research and 4 are the subject's own book. DavidTTTaylor (talk) 14:40, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but start over per NickCT, WP:TNT. Much of the current article violates WP:NOTRESUME and WP:OR. Bearian (talk) 18:43, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Notability seems to hang on him being author of one book (which does not seem to meet Wikipedia:Notability (books). Per Wikipedia:Notability (people) there is not significant coverage in secondary sources. The majority of citations are an interview conducted by the page author and therefore Wikipedia:Original research. The two awards cited are very localised to the subject's location and community, and not widely notable. I would support a re-write, but can notability be established? DavidTTTaylor (talk) 14:35, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree—there doesn't seem to be significant coverage in sources that are independent of the subject. Most references are related the book he wrote, but reviewing WP:AUTHOR, he doesn't meet the criteria for notability. Before voting, I would be curious to hear what those who elected to 'keep' are thinking. TheBlueCanoe 22:28, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
