I'm not sure if being a part of the team (ghostwriting team?) behind a couple of characters is sufficient for independent notability. Ricky81682 (talk) 09:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Re-direct to Don Pendleton This author writes under the name of Don Pendleton, not Douglas Wojtowicz, and his books are covered on that page. LaMona (talk) 22:28, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Re-direct to Mack Bolan OMG this is confusing! OK, Don Pendleton died in 1975. His books, however, continue to be written by other authors (listed at Mack_Bolan -- about a hundred of them!). No reviews of any of these at Booklist, although one other book gets praised for not being as bad as a Mack Bolan book. None of this fellow's books are reviewed at Kirkus reviews which review just about everything. No mention of him beyond social media, that I can find. He also has written some short stories that are in collections, mainly SciFi. LaMona (talk) 00:22, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect per LaMona. I cannot find the subject mentioned in the first reference and the second reference is not authoritative.  No reliable sources.--Rpclod (talk) 17:00, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect per LaMona. This guy isn't really notable enough for his own entry and is apparently one of dozens upon dozens of ghostwriters for this name. If he were the only ghostwriter (like Andrew Neiderman) or especially noteworthy out of the myriad of authors (Maxine Paetro, for example) then a separate article might make sense but so far he just doesn't seem to have had that much coverage.
