Fails WP:BASIC and WP:NACADEMIC, no reliable sources found in my WP:BEFORE. Most sources that focus on Sciabarra in this article were written by Sciabarra himself and are thus not WP:INDEPENDENT, the other good sources are all about his book Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical. This book of his is (maybe) notable, but he certainly isn't. There is no need to merge this article into the book's page, considering that the book's article already talks about Sciabarra in its "background" section, I'm asking for a deletion.

 * Comment. No time to search for reviews but his other two books each have >100 citations in GS, so may well have them, contributing to notability under WP:AUTHOR. Espresso Addict (talk) 12:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:AUTHOR. One of many bad nominations of libertarian/randroid thought created recently by SparklyNights. I'm sure they are acting in good faith in trying to clean up a crufty area of Wikipedia but they need to swing less wildly and pay more attention to WP:BEFORE: the notability of a topic does not depend on the bad state of our article on it. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:39, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per David Eppstein. Sourcing is sufficient to pass WP:AUTHOR. Sal2100 (talk) 20:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
