The result was   speedy keep. I'm withdrawing the AfD. I was unduly infuenced by the earlier state of the article, which Tokyogirl has now fixed. Even though his books never really became best sellers, I now realize that an successful authorship career extending over so many titles is sufficient to make for notability.

somewhat promotional article for non notable author. Write Westerns, none of which have more that 240 copies in libraries. . The other material, and the claimed awards, is utterly trivial. I previously deleted a much more extensive dramatically promotional version.  DGG ( talk ) 20:21, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've deleted much of the article and added a bibliography. I'm still not convinced, but he's gotten some coverage in some local papers and has been mentioned extensively as a tracker in various articles. Of course the tracker mentions are all brief, so they're probably trivial sources at best. There does seem to be evidence of reviews out there, so I'll see what I can find.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:15, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
