This article along with articles written about the books appear to have been primarily written by the same IP; lots of biographical detail with very little reliable sourcing. No third party references to establish notability; no evidence of winning notable awards (e.g., ForeWord "Book of the Year" does not appear to be a notable award OhNo itsJamie Talk 02:31, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Convert to draft. The subject of the article User:Alpiner123 has started editing the article after the undeletion today, and has been notified of it. The user has stated that he is a novice on Wikipedia and is willing to figure out the article process. Jay (talk) 16:49, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify. This appears to be a vanity / promotional article, written or significantly contributed to by the subject. They are also working on Draft:Templar Trail and contacted me to help them 'fix' that draft. Neither the article on the author or the draft about the trail are properly sourced, which the author would have to fully rectify in draftspace before this can be moved back into mainspace, as well as demonstrating notability per WP:NAUTHOR.

 * Delete. This is AfD—let's see the sources? The editor admits to being the founder of the "Templar Trail", having written a book about it, which transitively makes this biography an autobiography. If we don't have secondary sources to show on the matter, what is the good of sending it to languish in draftspace? czar  19:23, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
