Feri Sulianta

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article was created by User:Ferisulianta, evidently as a self-promotional article. Originally it was clearly a machine translation, though it has now been substantially cleaned up. A note on the article's talk page says that it was basically a copy of contents from his own web site. I have tried to find evidence that Feri Sulianta satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, but unfortunately failed.

As far as the references cited in the article are concerned, all but two are no more than listings which contain Feri Sulianta's name, lists of his books, etc. One of the other two is www.ferisulianta.com, clearly not an independent source. The other one is at indonesiawriters.com, which invites anyone at all to submit a page about themselves, as long as they feel they are a screenwriter or the author of articles. It says that it is conceived as a complete directory of Indonesian writers, but at present it has a total of five writers listed.

The first hits on a Google search are articles on English and Indonesian Wikipedias, Feri Sulianta's own web site, Twitter, two YouTube videos, FaceBook, www.goodreads.com, which is a promotional site (It says " Are you an author or a publisher? Gain access to a massive audience of more than 15 million book lovers. Goodreads is a great place to promote your books.") So it goes on - nothing I found was coverage in an independent reliable source. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:40, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can find no significant independent coverage of this author in reliable sources. The list of works makes this person appear to be a one-man book of the month club based on how quickly he churns out these books. -- Whpq (talk) 15:54, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
