I'm not 100% sure if this is a candidate for speedy deletion, so I'm AfD'ing it. Subject is an author and has contributed some writing to a film. Ican't find any significant coverage about Sheldon, or either of his books. Doesn't meet the notability threshold, generally or as an author. Sionk (talk) 17:08, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Notability is marginal but there's stuff on Highbeam I can't read. Telegraph review of Smiling Affair. Reviews in Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday on Highbeam that I've not read and may even be the same article. Aside from that there's a brief mention in the Guardian, which also had a short review of Comfort Zone. He has also apparently been interviewed by the New Straits Times in Singapore but I've only seen it reproduced in a blog and a dead link on another blog.  Smiling Affair was reviewed on Tangled Web which has a terrible design but seems to be a well-established online publication. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:53, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I have access to Highbeam. This one from the Daily Mail (March 14, 2003) is a review of Comfort Zone as is this one from The Scotsman (March 1, 2003). Both are a decent length. This one is a decent length review of Smiling Affair, again in the Daily Mail (June 24, 2005). The original (and lengthy) New Straits Times interview (February 25, 2009) can be accessed via the WayBack Machine here. The Straits Times interview was apropos of the "Writing the City" project, also covered by CNN, with mention of him,  here. Voceditenore (talk) 11:11, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep If there are reviews of multiple books of his he is undoubtedly notable by WP:CREATIVE. Nothing more needs to be proven, though they should of course be added to the article. It would have been well to check this before nominating for deletion.  DGG ( talk ) 00:18, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with DGG. I had added the extra sources here intending to return to the discussion. I'll now add them to the article as well. Voceditenore (talk) 05:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
