John Wingate

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable businessperson/writer. The article was created and edited by person with likely COI. I have toned down promotional content; see previous versions for more of an idea of what it was. Happy to withdraw the nomination of good sources are found-- will do so quickly if believable independent secondary coverage is found stating he won a TELLY award (or 3) (see talk page for discussion on that topic--it may be his company won something, but I can't even find that). BEFORE completed in Googles, plus NewspaperArchive, Newspapers.com, Contemporary Authors, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus... DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:45, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete My BEFORE search turns up a few hits, mostly for another John Wingate. Like Diamond, I will gladly change my vote if specific sources can be found. I see where there are sources for the TELLY awards but those sources would be considered primary, imo. Nor do I see the other 20 awards that is attributed by the primary sources. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 12:02, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Good point--Let us all be clear on the John Wingate who has written a few novels by names not mentioned in this article being a different John Wingate than this author. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 12:27, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete appears to be an autobiography without the reliable sourcing needed to establish GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:26, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
