I've found no evidence this subject meets Wikipedia's notability criteria, per general notability guidelines or guidelines for people. I cannot find any significant coverage in realiable, third-party, non-affiliated sources. All of this subject's books appear self-published, as are the majority of references. While appearances on an internet radio station may be a potential claim to notability, this subject apparently hasn't acquired significant third-party attention, and while this young man may have a promising future, it is too soon to have an encyclopedia article. --Animalparty!

 * Keep: Added additional non-affiliated sources. I believe he is notable, due to the fact he is a young, international radio show host, the founder of an outdoor media site, and an outdoor writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigman2700 (talk • contribs) 20:58, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Most references appear to be "about the author" blurbs, which are generally self-written. Goodreads and other user-generated sites and blogs are questionable and self-published sources. It doesn't matter how many posts or websites an individual creates if they haven't been the recipient of significant, non-affiliated discussion from reliable sources, as explained in Notability (people), (e.g. WP:JOURNALIST). See also the "Golden rule" of Wikipedia for a brief overview of what articles needs. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:19, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you know all those "facts" for sure? He has notibilty to his profile, whether those sources are what you say they are or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigman2700 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Notability on Wikipedia is a measure of the quality of sourcing. There's no such thing as "has notability to his profile" — our notability criteria are passed or failed by the quality of the referencing that's present to support the article, and nothing that can be stated but not properly sourced in the body text, not even "second coming of Jesus Christ", ever confers an exemption from having to be reliably sourced to coverage in sources that are independent of the topic.

 * Delete None of the sources are even close to being indepth, reliable sources that are indepedent from the subject. They are either by him, or about the subject blurbs. We need things a lot better to justify having an article on a 16-year-old.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - has all the appearance of self publicity or publicity by an agent. Somebody is certainly very active in tampering with this debate, which is never a good sign. I can see no notability here.  Velella  Velella Talk 18:48, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. The sources here are all primary ones, not reliable sources that can carry notability. And his radio show is "international" only by virtue of being on an internet radio stream, not by real terrestrial syndication. Bearcat (talk) 07:55, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
