I could be wrong, but, I'm struggling to see how Boardman passes our general notability guidelines. Isaac Asimov was a fan, but that doesn't establish notability. I also can't access the one reference, but struggled to find other references. Perhaps others can help. SarahStierch (talk) 23:42, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete, Asimov discussed him at length in his memoir "I, Asimov". He's also quoted quite a bit in this volume.  But apart from this, I can't find much apart from the usual directory entry type of stuff.  I don't think he meets WP:AUTHOR.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:45, 17 April 2014 (UTC).

 * Leaning Keep I found some reviews in in Chicago Tribune, Kentucky New Era via Google Books, Calhoun Times. Local press obits and a couple of mentions in the New York Times. I don't know that there's yet quite enough material there to keep, but the book seems quite popular and well-cited, and I'm sure a proper newspaper search would turn up more reviews. There also seems to be a review in the Publishers Weekly archive which I don't have access to. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:59, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per Colapeninsula. - →Davey 2010→ →Talk to me!→  16:01, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - I fail to see which WP:AUTHOR criteria are being clearly met. NickCT (talk) 18:03, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. He's a significant literary figure and it's a well-known book. LucyLucyLucyLucy1 (talk) 21:19, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
