I'm not convinced this person meets the notability guidelines for authors. The only mentions in reliable sources I can find are things like this, which in no way convey notability. The article is also barely linked from Wikipedia; it was created by a single-purpose account and promoted by another one until I removed it. Note that as mentioned on the talk page, there's another published author with the same name, a therapist, who seems to get many more Google results, at least. Graham 87 03:29, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Subject currently fails all four criterion in WP:NAUTHOR. Book titles are all linked to 2nd-party sources, while sig cov in reliable 3rd-party sources appears to be nonexistent. StonyBrook (talk) 06:04, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - doesn't meet WP:AUTHOR - just publishing books is not notable, we need significant converage in reliable sources, reviews, writeups, etc. - Stringer was nominated for a couple or minor awards, but no wins - his publisher, Thomas & Mercer, is an Amazon imprint - none of the biographical information in the article is sourced, no sources to confirm that he is a supporter of Wolverhampton Wanderers or his favorite band is The Replacements - Epinoia (talk) 00:35, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
