I know he has the one book, but I truly don't know whether that passes WP:BIO. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much else Travellingcari (talk) 19:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggest we keep the article

Granted, I am not an unbiased observer, since I created the article. But I am OK with keeping it in Wikipedia. Mr. Marinaccio has written two books (All . . . "Star Trek", and All . . "Star Trek: The Next Generation"). It is apparent that his fame/notoriety, such as it is, is based squarely on the familiarity of the Baby Boom generation with the Star Trek series, and as this familiarity fades, so will his cachet. Nonetheless, he HAS written two books which have been published nationwide, have been reviewed in newspapers on both coasts, and is an icon in the niche. I feel this is as much notoriety as football (I mean soccer) players achieve, and the Wikipedia is replete with entries for them. I vote we retain the article.

 * Keep Considerable coverage in reliable sources, see http://news.google.com/archivesearch?tab=pn&hl=en&q=%22Dave+Marinaccio%22&ie=UTF-8 and http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&q=%22Dave+Marinaccio%22&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=np (Mind meal (talk) 01:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC))
 * Keep I was skeptical about his one, but the multiple reviews Raymond found are fully sufficient. Not all of them deal strictly with the book, so the author as well as the book is notable. DGG (talk) 03:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
