The result was delete. In principle, this should have been closed as no consensus, since there is no consensus on notability, however, given that the article was a close paraphrasing of this webpage, I deleted it. If someone would create a new article which is not in violation of copyright, the discussion of notability can be resumed.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure that this new author is quite notable yet - there is some localised coverage, but I don't see that he passes WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR yet... Mabalu (talk) 02:29, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: while this isn't a strong keep, I do feel that the author scrapes by criterion four of WP:AUTHOR due to both reviews of the book and an article about the individual. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:54, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK.  The smattering of reviews he's received don't amount to much, and neither does Publishers Weekly, which reviews most books by rote. Qworty (talk) 05:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 00:09, 17 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Weak delete. A bit under the bar of WP:AUTHOR, and his book itself doesn't seem notable enough to save him. Dea db eef  (talk)  03:18, 17 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Weak delete. As Deadbeef said, he's not quite there yet. Grande (talk) 11:52, 17 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Obviously this article needs work but the person in question does meet WP:AUTHOR as he did create a significant novel as listed at the end of the article. He is also a sports news editor at a significant newspaper in Memphis, TN which also meets WP:AUTHOR. Inomyabcs (talk) 18:38, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
