I don't think this person meets WP:AUTHOR. He has had two books published. The first one did get a number of reviews, as linked in the article. Searching for him, I found one additional review and one review of his second book, A Chance Acquaintance. I'm not sure all this adds up to significant coverage, though. He also is a CBE for his civil service work, but I don't think this meets WP:GNG. Tacyarg (talk) 21:54, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Author Keep His first novel was covered by English and international sources, including The New York Times, Newsweek, The Guardian, Die Zeit, Harper's, The Washington Post, and others. I'm not sure what more we'd need to establish notability via GNG. Chubbles (talk) 22:10, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. We have always considered the CBE and above to meet the requirements of WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:09, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. The list of references in the article read like a who's-who of respected mainstream media; The Guardian, LA Times, BBC, Newsweek, Die Zeit, NY Times, Washington Post, Harpers.  Some of those are behind paywalls so I couldn't read them, but the ones I did look at certainly met every definition of WP:RS I can think of.  And, yeah, not to mention the CBE.  What else are we looking for?  -- RoySmith (talk) 23:59, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
