Notability
I had tagged the article for notability, and you subsequently removed the tag on the basis that the article references several newspapers. Notability has to be shown not just through having independent, reliable sources but also there must be significant coverage in those sources. The significant coverage in this case needs to be about Krol himself, not reviews of his books. Most of the references in the article are to reviews of the books with a small amount of coverage about Krol. I would argue that it is not possible to have an article here that is substantially about Krol, because nobody knows anything about him, other than that he lives in Australia. Wikipedia is based on facts, not speculation. It is not a place to piece together a synthesis of information - that is considered original research. As such, I think there remains a notability debate to be had, and I don't think you're independent enough from the article to be able to assess it. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
