 * – ( View AfD View log )

No |sources or other evidence of notability of this author. Previous AFD resulted in a decision to delete, article was recreated a few months later and heas been unsourced for the intervening four years. Beeblebrox (talk) 10:13, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't know enough about notability criteria for novelists, but this guy has been interviewed and a number of his novels have been reviewed. Adding "suspense" and "novel" to his name on the Google News archive search yields quite a lot, actually:  Maybe it just needs better sourcing? Yakushima (talk) 14:38, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment Article certainly asserts notability, with several nominations for notable awards, some of which were awarded to the subject.Edward321 (talk) 14:50, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
 * An assertion of notability is sufficient to avoid speedy deletion, actual proof in the form of reliable sources will be needed to avoid it altogether. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:22, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:38, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This Jeff Abbott doesn't seem to be the same one we deleted before. There seems to be quite a lot of coverage for his book "Panic", and it's even being made into a cable movie. Gigs (talk) 15:01, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. As Yakushima said, there seem to be a lot of possible sources that could be added. I am also adding an Infobox Writer template, which should give the article some backbone. --vgmddg (look &#124; talk &#124; do) 00:04, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. This article is about a different "Jeff Abbot" then the one deleted back in 2006. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:40, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, that's my bad. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:00, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
