I couldn't find enough coverage in reliable sources to prove that Quense passes Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies. The NorthJersey.com source in the article was the best I could find. The article was deleted at AfD in 2008, but I'm not sure if the article is sufficiently similar to the old one to be able to delete it under CSD G4, or whether any new sources have appeared since then. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 18:40, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

I see he is now listed on Amazon (per the deletion discussion in 2008) but I do not know if that is enough to meet notability. The page also has a leans towards advertisement language in reference to his classes/writing seminars. I would second deletion. DietFoodstamp (talk) 22:26, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete -- for lack of notability per WP:AUTHOR. (Note: I reviewed the previous deleted article and this article does not qualify for WP:G4 speedy deletion because of the addition of books and some referenced newspaper items since the previous AFD discussion.) However, those books are all self-published and sold on-line by the author. Those newspaper items appear in the Twin-Boro News, a community weekly with a circulation of less than 14,000. . A local self-published writer without substantial quality coverage doesn't meet the notability criteria for a biography. — Cactus Writer (talk) 00:21, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
