 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I came across this via an AfD for another article created by the same editor that had issues with sourcing and notability. This looks to have the same issues and also has a pretty big problem with tone. None of the sources on the article shows notability for the author, as they're all either primary sources, routine database listings, merchant sites, or reviews from sites that would not be considered reliable sources per WP:RS. A search did not bring up anything to show notability for this author either. I was tempted to speedy this as promotion, but there is a slight assertion of notability via the claims that the author's books sell for thousands of dollars on eBay so I figured that this would benefit from a full AfD in case there are sources out there. I couldn't find anything to show that Foguth is notable enough to pass WP:AUTHOR. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   08:16, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Two 'publishers' other than self - Dare 2 Dream Desktop Publishing and Silver Dragon Publishing. Neither suggest much in the way of notability, and D2D DTP very strongly suggests self-publishing, which is in fact the case for some of the books. Silver Dragon is hard to track down quickly, apart from a rather old 'official page' on blogspot. Seven books listed on Amazon - one is listed at $2000 used. There's nothing like hope... The others are rather cheaper. There's nothing in the references given that I could see as indicating notability - many are simple lists and others 'profiles'. I would think that the intention of the article is promotion, as is usually the case with self-published stuff. Peridon (talk) 12:15, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete – The Smashwords entry for Silver Dragon is here, and it doesn't help the case for notability. Per nom, fails WP:AUTHOR. – Margin1522 (talk) 12:39, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - looks promotional (even self-promotional) and non-notable. Bob talk 19:11, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
