 * Delete Article is full of extraordinary claims with virtually no sourcing. Article would have to be wholly re-written to meet minimum standards and since nothings really be done since it scrapped by AfD 14 years ago, it's hard to imagine that's going to happen.

 * Delete It has exceptional claims, but not a single unexceptional reference, never mind an exceptional one. It may have survived 14 years ago, it doesn't show 14 years worth of improvement. - X201 (talk) 14:14, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - not that Amazon is the indicator, but a google search yielded little but an Amazon result. On there, it appears the figure has self-published several books, including one on how to write a best seller.. but no actual best sellers from what I can tell. So this appears to be a hoax. User:Literat24-7 added many of the claims (and has made no other edits), and other than the original creator (who has also made no edits in relation to Mehler), no other users added any information. Am I saying they are both related to the subject? Am I saying they are the same person? Am I saying they are both Mehler? No, but it wouldn't surprise me. Just as importantly, none of the claims are verified. Strong Delete.  ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  16:31, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete While a prolific author, Mehler does not appear to pass WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:47, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fourteen years should have been enough to provide a reference. Dorama285 (talk) 22:08, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
