Concerns over Notability (people). Coverage does not appear to be significant. Two of the three references are to online sales of the subject's book. RA (talk) 21:16, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:NOTABILITY due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. Valenciano (talk) 21:23, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree, the individual doesn't meet the notability standard -- the single reference is local and the book is published by a publisher whose website indicates that it restricts its efforts to strictly local stories.  I was unable to find anything significant other than the reference provided.  Ubelowme (talk) 21:45, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I've removed the unambiguous promotion speedy tag from The Day the Water Tower Froze and pointed it to this debate. Neither the work nor the author appear to meet notability criteria. Tonywalton Talk 23:00, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment this appears to be self-promotion; the article was originally created by User:Macarthurdd – probably not a coincidental username. Tonywalton Talk
 * Delete One review in a local paper isn't enough to establish notability. Nwlaw63 (talk)

 * Delete as self-promotional article about a non-notable book. Article about author has been moved to David MacArthur, where it was speedily deleted.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:50, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see an assertion of notability in the article and the sources do not show notability. --DanielRigal (talk) 18:25, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
