Non-notable autobiography; only escapes speedy because of the claim that a book he contributed to is widely used as a college text. OhNo itsJamie Talk 15:23, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Meets Notability Guidelines for Books: The individual did not contribute to, but actually authored the referenced work "Broadband Networking" and it is the subject of non-trivial works whose sources are independent of the book itself.

 * Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Article is by a WP:SPA with issues of WP:AUTO. Qworty (talk) 08:21, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * "Article is by a WP:SPA with issues of WP:AUTO." - That is irrelevant to an AfD. Our job is to determine if an article on this topic is possible, not to punish people for doing wrong things.-- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment Question: Does the author inherit the book's notability? The book has the strongest claim, maybe the thing to do is create a book article and have a sub-section there about the author. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The book needs to be used in multiple schools, per WP:BK. The sources only shows one school. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 03:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not convinced there has been significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. I was able to find this and this, but I'm afraid both of these 1) are in publications with limited scope and circulation, thus making them less suitable as reliable sources and 2) are generally WP:ROUTINE in nature. I can't find any reviews of his book (or a second book I found of which he was the co-author) but in any event, such things would confer notability on the book, not him. All in all, I think it falls short of the WP:GNG guidelines. --Batard0 (talk) 12:15, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep- hangs in the balance, but overall I tend towards the points Liquidchoice has already made Fireflo (talk) 09:50, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
