 * Note, however, that an IP added a list of book reviews in "real" journals sufficient to establish notability about 2 months after the notability tag was added.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:29, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep I added 2 reviews of his books to the half-dozen already in the article, which needs editing into more normative format. Widely-reviewed books confer notability on an author.  Keep and remove the obsolete notability tag.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:24, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:NAUTHOR, plenty of reviews of his books, some listed in the article, BookList - "Direct references to the baby Jesus make this a good choice for observant Christian families, while families seeking multicultural holiday stories will appreciate this non-American view of tradition." and Horn Book (as usual, short and sweet:)) - "The mixed-media illustrations are striking, but the artist's technique makes both interior and exterior scenes appear windy--perhaps in keeping with the long-winded text." also reviewed Carl, School Library Journal - "Consider Silver Moon only where folk and fairy tales are very popular.", and ForeWord Magazine (may not be useable?) - "While the vocabulary choices are too sophisticated and the sentences too long for beginning readers, the storytelling is rich, humorous, and easy to follow when read by a parent or teacher." also reviewed Silver Moon.

 * Keep - Well-reviewed author, meets WP:NAUTHOR. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:55, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep It's not the ideal case of WP:NAUTHOR but they seem to just squeak by. Mkdw  talk 17:53, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
