 * Delete: No reliable sources (or any for that matter) to verify notability. - Rjd0060 05:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The subject may well be notable, but there is not enough data to judge. My own research turns up nothing of note on Google. ZZ Claims~ Evidence 05:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Presume unnotable " there is not enough data to judge" Victuallers 09:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if sources were available, the mentioned facts do not establish notability (a book ranking 500,000 in sales on Amazon is not really that high at all). --Crusio 10:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: He does seem to have written a book as per this but that is the only one of his books that I could find. Not sure if he is sufficiently notable by publishing just one book. Does not seem to pass the Basic and Additional criteria (for Creative Professionals) requirements of WP:BIO. -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 10:58, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * delete falls far short of WP:BIO:Creative professionals, one book does not amount to the standard implied by "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." No reliable secondary sources provided with Jack Travers as subject, and no assertion of notability. Pete.Hurd 18:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete...notability claim is that he wrote a book and it was once in the top 500,000...? Can you imagine how many things would be notable if being in the top 500,000 was the threshold? --SmashvilleBONK! 22:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
