 * Do you have a suggestion for which condition of WP:AUTH he satisfies? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:26, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Those editors are clearly saying that they consider the subject to pass the general notability guideline, which means that there is no need to look at any of the subsidiary guidelines such as WP:AUTH. Please note that I am only commenting here for clarification purposes, as I have no opinion on the notability of the subject. Phil Bridger (talk) 00:17, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Clearly he meets the GNG. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment The GNG calls for "significant coverage". I don't have access to the newspaper articles, perhaps one of the other contributors to the debate can oblisge with quotations?  All I can see is coverage saying that he co-founded Greenery Press, was 52 in 2001, and that he is the author of at least some of the books attributed to him in the article.  Is that "significant"?  I don't see it.  Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
