 * Keep. The problem here is this author's works were mainly published before the internet so there's less info available online. Add in that the article needs a lot of work and I understand why questions on this author's notability were raised. However, a search in the Wikipedia Library turned up a ton of reviews and coverage of his work in places like North American Review, School Library Journal, Horn Book Magazine, Publishers Weekly, Publishing Research Quarterly, and other places. The WP even has a Newsweek article about his work as a garlic farmer and I also found this NYT review of one of his books from 1972. Aaron doesn't seems like he was a great writer of children's books -- many of the reviews are negative -- but he was widely published and reviewed and meets our WP:Author notability guidelines.--SouthernNights (talk) 13:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

 *  Keep Didn’t find much about him, yet he seems a notable WP:Author by seeing his work.I found some the third party sources, 1, 2, 3 that at least credits his career as a writer.Atighot (talk) 00:53, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
