This article is heavily promotional in tone. Douglas Graham seems to have very little biographical coverage in secondary sources. Google Books turns up a couple mentions, but they seem to be mostly in passing. News archive search turns up nothing. The current links in the article are to blog or forum sites.

 * Weak Delete Very little coverage of the subject per se, failing WP:GNG. I conclude that WP:AUTH has failed as well, mainly b/c of difficulty finding reviews of his most prominent book, the 80/10/10 Diet. (held in approximately 60 Worldcat libraries). I did find this article detailing a cult-like group of 1700 people or so who follow his diet, which is certainly suggestive, but does not constitute significant in-depth coverage of his work.

 * Keep - article needs improving not deleting. He is a notable vegan/raw food/healthy living author with a top selling book The 80/10/10 Diet. Nirvana2013 (talk) 16:32, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
