WP:BLP of a tax law advisor and writer, not properly referenced to any evidence of notability. Right across the board, this is referenced entirely to primary sources, like his "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of directly affiliated companies or organizations and his books' directory entries in WorldCat or Google Books. As always, however, the notability test for a writer is not just that his employer and his books technically metaverify themselves: it is the reception of reliable source coverage about him and his work in sources that he is not directly affiliated with, such as journalism about him and his work, critical reviews or analysis about his books, and on and so forth.

 * Delete: this is a typical promotional article. It reads like an advertisement. None of the independent sources are anything beyond a listing or a promotional blurb. --Slashme (talk) 09:22, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi, I am focusing on Authors of books as per WP:AUTHORS we have a wide range of authors in our library who published/wrote multiple books. As per WP:Authors, I think such type of authors are notable who's works are used in academics and official matters. See also: https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Adrian+Shipwright%22+-wikipedia looking forward for further guidance, thank you. Rebecca Webb (talk) 05:53, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. How many times have we deleted articles about authors without citations about the author, who is clearly run of the mill? Bearian (talk) 16:10, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete articles are supposed to be sourced to the work of others on the person, not to that person's own work.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:09, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly promotional and is run of the mill
