WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim of notability under WP:AUTHOR as his only listed title was an e-book. Even more importantly, there's not a shred of reliable source coverage to be found here — the referencing is parked entirely on primary sources and blogs. Article was previously prodded twice for lacking a substantive claim of notability, and then recreated a third time; the third iteration was tagged for notability, but then an anonymous IP removed that with the edit summary "notable" but no improvement in the evidence or sourcing for that. So as much as I'm tempted to speedy it a third time, it really is a matter for AFD this time. As always, a writer is not automatically entitled to an article just because he exists; substantive coverage in media sources independent of the topic's own PR machine must be present to support one.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete for now at best as the listed sources are simply not convincing enough. Restart later at best if better available. SwisterTwister   talk  07:41, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete and salt, a search brings up nothing useable only sites such as goodreads and amazon, article created in June 2015 by a blocked user (not in itself a problem but...), as nom mentioned tags removed in June 2015 by a spa who did not improve the article, it hasn't been improved since, subjects website - has nothing which could assist in leading to anything of benefit to this article.Coolabahapple (talk) 16:11, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
