I am new to this, but I don't think this is entirely promotional, it is about an author (me) who has several books. It is also linked to other pages including one which cites one of my books (the only book on the subject in the world.) I have tried to tone it down by removing a reference to good reviews in Japan. If you have any other ideas for making it more objective, please edit or let me know. Thank you in advance for considering the article

Delete - Regardless of the fact that this is an autobiography, the issue is notability. There is simply a lack of independent and reliable sources, leading to a failure to meet WP:GNG. In addition, there is no indication that subject meets WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPROF notability guidelines. Jmertel23 (talk) 19:49, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Totally understand the points about COI, my apologies for wasting your time. Thanks for your contributions to this section and the stirling job you do for wikipedia in general. Long may it live.
