Non-notable author. While his books may have been published for many years, I'm not seeing sources on him that would warrant an individual article. None of the information about him (birth, death, family, career) is sourced.  MBisanz  talk 18:47, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. The Marvelous Inventions of Alvin Fernald, published 50 years ago, is still in print, along with the rest of the series. Disney adapted two of the books into a TV movie. How much more notable would an author have to be? I mean, come on. We're not talking about some one-book wonder who sold a couple thousand copies. Not that a web search is evidence of anything, but there are currently 15,000+ references to the aforementioned book. Nairebis (talk) 00:09, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This person seems undeniably notable although his article is not properly wikified in this regard in terms of citations and such.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep I've added a Contemporary Authors reference and stubbed the article. There are some old reviews of his work visible in the Google News archive results; I'll see if I can track any of them down. Zagalejo^^^ 07:52, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * He also seems to be profiled in this book. Zagalejo^^^ 08:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Sufficient sources, sufficient indication of notability. Edward321 (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
