Proposed deletion of Preston Grassmann


The article Preston Grassmann has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable BLP."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * New material has been added. If this isn't sufficient, please let me know how I can improve the page. Extropian73 (talk) 07:05, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The issue here is that the article fails to establish notability. Notability is established through in depth secondary independent sources with proven reliability, and none of the sources on the page come close to matching this (the Tor and isfdb references lack indepth coverage and Titan/RS Publishing are non-independent, being Grassman's publishers).  I'd advise looking at pages like Stephen King to see what's expected, especially for BLPs CiphriusKane (talk) 08:21, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
