IP editor from the subject's location keeps removing the notability tag, so editors glancing at the article may believe the sources are sufficient and since the article has been in this state for a few years now, without that tag it makes it unlikely that the sourcing is going to be improved to the point that it meets any notability guideline, and I have been unable to find any sources either that show sufficient notability for the article's subject.

The article's subject fails to meet any of the notability criteria of WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR, or WP:BIO. There are plenty of sources, and D'Ambrosio's name is mentioned in the third-party sources, but all of them are trivial mentions. There are sources reviewing books, but none of which mention D'Ambrosio aside from trivial mentions of being the author, and none of those sources meet WP:AUTHOR.

 * Delete - Journalists are hard enough to source out in the best of scenarios, this falls far short of that SNG. Nor does Author seem to be met. Nor GNG. Carrite (talk) 15:49, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep I grant that this is a lousy article, but there are quite a lot of sourcing out there. Here: is a search on "marvin Camel" + D'Ambrosio  at google news, it brings up articles from which a bio can be sources, and book reviews to validate notability as a biographer.  And this: After wrongfully convicted inmate freed, Missoula writer has cause to celebrate ..  This should simply be tagged for improvement, sourcing, style. — Preceding unsigned comment added by E.M.Gregory (talk • contribs) 13:41, 5 August 2016(UTC)
