 * Comment - not voting here at present, but the AfD debate was blanked by User:Deeward0807, whose edits have all been related to this article. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 14:20, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CREATIVE. Makes claims enough to avoid being a speedy delete, but no genuinely substantial claim of notability.  Also appears to be a COI/spam issue. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:18, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Article has been revised according to Wikipedia guidelines. References have been added for verifiability. New information has been added to support notability.Deeward0807 (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Absolutely no outside sources to support notability. Article has been created and modified exclusively by Deeward0807, who is the sole proponent of keeping it and has not edited any articles other that this one, providing a clear case of WP:SPA.

 * Keep - Neither conflict of interest, nor single purpose accounts represent valid reasons for deletion although they do indicate greater scrutiny needs to be made of the article and referencing. Lockward has been reviewed in reliable sources.  The Harvard Review has published a review of Temptation by Water.  From AL.com, we have another review.  Inlcuded in this book from Penguin Books. -- Whpq (talk) 16:28, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
