Does not meet basic WP:N requirements, known only for fairly low-key MTV tv series, no notable awards, no significant news coverage as an individual. — raeky  t  03:05, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as lacking dpeth of coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:19, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as author of New York Times #1 bestselling book and co-creator of well-known MTV series. The book alone should do it, no?BennyHillbilly (talk) 06:56, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it was a book with four authors, none of whom had any obvious previous (or later) writing experience and the book spun out of a previous project. This is exactly the kind of situation where there might professional ghost writers and / or an extensive editorial input might have been used. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:44, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK.  Is not, in fact, even the author of a book.  Qworty (talk) 10:15, 24 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep - Although being the author (or co-author) of a book is not in itself notable, there are still plenty of reliable sources that support the book and the series. His appearance on Rachel Ray and Oprah should be included in the article as these are pretty good sources. He is also mentioned as a co-producer on numerous other projects on IMDb.--SimonKnowsAll (talk) 22:56, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
