 * keep Daniel Simone has created an unprecedented format with which he interviews and profiles celebrity novelists followed by a transparent and informative review of their latest novels. The monthly feature is titled, BETWEEN THE LINES, and is published by the largest publication in the New York metropolitan area, LONG ISLAND PULSE magazine. Mr. Simone's summarization of the subject books, not only interpret and evaluate the framework of their themes, but also, he himself a novelist, dissects and outlines with obvious but clear expertise the style and methodologies of different authors; interesting facts and pointers that extend beyond the boring, pedantic book reviews that, in the end, say nothing that the reader can comprehend. In conclusion, in my opinion, he has invented a fresh manner with which to learn about an author's literary demeanor and a simplistic representation of his or her latest tome. Moreover, as cited in the main page, Daniel Simone has been interviewing and writing in other prominant periodicals about celebrities that hail from the famous summer vacation hot spot, New York's Hamptons region.Saul friedgood (talk) 22:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC) — Saul friedgood (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete Non-notable. No significant references. Google supplies mostly hits to other people named Daniel Simone; Google News supplies nothing. He apparently writes an occasional piece for a couple of minor regional magazines; that's about it. Half of the article consists of name-dropping about various other (clearly notable) people, but their notability does not rub off on him. --MelanieN (talk) 01:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - specious claims like "the largest publication in the New York metropolitan area, LONG ISLAND PULSE magazine" indicates to me that this is either a hoax or spam. Bearian (talk) 00:37, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable. (GregJackP (talk) 01:27, 10 March 2010 (UTC))

Moreover, Mr. Simone, in colloboration of his subjects, has written synoptic biographies of world-famous actors and screenwriters: Lorraine Bracco, James Lipton, the reknowned astrophycist, Neil Degrasse Tyson, the legal analyst anchor, Jami Floyd, the biographers, Tom Clavin and Bob Drury, etc... As a result of it all, Daniel Simone has been a coveted guest as a writing teacher for the chain book store, Barnes & Noble,and his unique writing style and editorials have accumulated a substantial range of readers, the reason for the welcome and free-hand allowed him by the publications that he contributes to.Jay minter (talk) 15:42, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * kEEP - The assertion by User:Saul Friedgood that LONG ISLAND PULSE magazine is the New York Metropolitan area monthly publication with the largest circulation is not a hoax or spam. In fact, such a claim is substantiated by an independant audit certified by the AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS, which is an established organization that is most respected and relied upon by editors as well as perspective advertisers. (ABC's 'Pink Sheet', the document that verifies the audits, can be availed by LONG ISLAND PULSE administrators). The other various periodicals that Mr. Simone, for many years, has been profiling celebrities for, also have circulations volume certified by ABC. More important, contrary to User: MelanieN, Daniel Simone's innovative and entertainingly formatted monthly feature, BETWEEN THE LINES, is not about name dropping. Instead, in that recurring chronicle he has conducted live interviews and profiled highly celebrated authors and novelists. For example: Ridley Pearson, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Stuart Woods, Nelson DeMille, John Irving, Amy Bloom, etc...
 * Commment - The Long Island Pulse has a paid & verified circulation of 5,106, and gives away over 99,000 copies 11 times a year. That is not a notable journal and certainly not the "New York Metropolitan area monthly publication with the largest circulation ...." Bearian (talk) 18:37, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I see nothing substantial.We do not normally consider columnists notable merely on the basis of their columns without secondary sources about them; ghostwriters who write books that cannot be named cannot expect to have their notability recognized--it's part of the bargain that they remain invisible-- nothing else is substantial. if he writes the three books the articles says he's writing, and if they are every published, and if they receive significant reviews, then he will be notable  Not now.
