 * Delete. Non-notable author, no reliable independent references that assert notability, fails all criteria at WP:AUTHOR, declined speedy. WWGB (talk) 04:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't find much in the way of extensive sources availible via a google search, and I don't see any evidence of non-web sources either. Seems to fail WP:GNG from the outset.  -- Jayron  32  05:14, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Attempted to encourage newbie, trimmed back to verifiable info, and added citations. Web search shows two PR people by this name. One is based in London, the other is Chevron spokesman for S. America involved in litigation with Greenpeace. May or may not be same person. Considered request for another speedy delete, but I don't know that process. Forthcoming book appears notable; however, info is hidden behind Times paywall. Am leaving cited material here so admin has material for determination. Trilliumz (talk) 03:19, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. It was me who uploaded the original article and I can see now, looking at the edited one where my original went wrong. This was the 1st time I had ever tried to upload to Wikipedia and it's pretty daunting. People keep saying there are no sources on Google, that was the whole point. That's why I uploaded the article. I was asked to review the novel for a national newspaper and when I went to look up background information there wasn't any. Isn't that what Wikipedia is for? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.103.75 (talk) 16:24, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The fact that there is no background information on Google or elsewhere is precisely why the article is listed here: Craig/Breheny is not notable. Subsequent interest in his book may establish notability in the future. Its mere existence does not. WWGB (talk) 23:35, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
