The result was   keep. Clearly meets WP:AUTH, and policy-based consensus to delete.

 * Speedy procedural keep. I don't believe the author is notable, but this AfD was opened wholly outside procedure and has no nomination rationaile beyond the fact the apparent subject of it and editor has decided he doesn't like it. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:27, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Is that a rationale in WP:SK? causa sui (talk) 16:57, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think there's a strong case that this falls under SK criterion 2. Lagrange613 17:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The delete !vote by Stuartyeates seems to rule out #2. The thing about speedy keeps is that it only works if nobody thinks the discussion is worthwhile. causa sui (talk) 17:48, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The infighting among Titanic buffs is beside the point. His book "Unsinkable:The Full Story" was a New York Times bestseller. This Washington Post item is behind a paywall but seems to describe "Unsinkable" as "the best narrative" of the Titanic story. Another book, "The Other Side of the Night", is the subject of a news report here. All of this is quite enough to satisfy WP:AUTHOR.
