David Fitzgerald (author)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable self-published author who only writes on a WP:FRINGE theory, that there was never such a person as Jesus, an idea with zero academic credibility. The only sources are closely connected to the subject. Smeat75 (talk) 00:43, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Arguments about the validity of his preferred subject aside, it doesn't look like he meets WP:NAUTHOR. It was difficult to find coverage on this individual due to a fairly common name (shared with, amusingly enough, a Christian musician), but the best I could find were this one from the Daily Mail, this one from Salon, and a few references to his work in this book by John H. McClendon. On balance, I don't think that's enough to justify an article under WP:GNG. PohranicniStraze (talk) 01:57, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:AUTHOR. The fact that all the subject's books are published by self-publishing companies rather than more mainstream publishers tends not to suggest notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:18, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Non-notable author with no significant coverage. Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 20:33, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:AUTHOR, and the coverage in sources are not substantial enough at all for him to meet WP:GNG. JC7V -talk  21:45, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
