I am the subject of this article (and can verify this) and do not wish to have this page. I do not believe that I meet the standards of a noteworthy person. Please consider deleting this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editor0108004 (talk • contribs) Relisting comment: The suggestion to merge to Sleeping Rough in Port-au-Prince is puzzling given that this is a redirect with no history. There is no article to merge to. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   18:47, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The subject does not appear to meet any of the requirements of WP:PROF. As regards WP:AUTHOR there are quite a few reviews of Sleeping Rough in Port-au-Prince (cited in the article) but I couldn't find any reviews of other works. This should probably be deleted under WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. An article on the book would probably be justified. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:51, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge with Sleeping Rough in Port-au-Prince: merge/redirect to be about his book which is the subject of independent scholarly reviews. Has this BLPREQUEST been verified through the proper channels? Most the the article was created and maintained by WP:SPA . TJMSmith (talk) 16:17, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * keep or merge I agree with TJMSmith that the main notable aspect here is the Sleeping Rough in Port-au-Prince book which has 7 independent reviews which is enough to make it notable. If the BLPREQUEST is verified I would opt to merge. --hroest 15:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * I said above that an article on the book would probably be justified, but that article should be written from scratch. I see no content here that needs to be merged to it. I see no reason to doubt that the nominator is the subject, and many reasons (look at the article history) to believe it, but if anyone needs more proof they should ask him for it, rather than just cast doubt here.

 * Redirect to Sleeping Rough in Port-au-Prince. Some information here is salvageable, the author may become notable one day assuming they are not yet already, let's WP:PRESERVE this for later in the redirect's history. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:01, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Disclosure: I tried to close this AFD and there is some problem with the formatting and how it was set up which is not surprising since it was done by a new editor. And I've tried introducing some different template codes and previewed the page but it just made things worse. I use Twinkle to set up an AFD so I'm not familiar with how to fix this manually. I'm hoping a more knowledgeable closer can look this over later. Liz Read! Talk! 08:16, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * same issue and have reverted my close. FWIW, Redirect makes sense as that's how I was trying to close it. Star   Mississippi  01:41, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
