This person is not notable. He has written one novel and been featured on a couple blogs, but has never been profiled in a major media outlet. Article appears to be a vehicle to sell his book. Cjs2111 (talk) 04:49, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added several references. His book was been reviewed by several major media outlets, and he has been in the news on other matters before his book was published. Alternatively, the article could be moved to Family Planning (novel). -- Eastmain (talk) 05:27, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that the book might meet notability standards while the person may not. I don't think the additions regarding his dorm room eviction or museum of another non-notable person really help make the case, though, if they were intended to. Cjs2111 (talk) 20:44, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Khushwant Singh has reviewed his book (and him) favourably. http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090124/saturday/above.htm Annette46 (talk) 11:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's a notable author whose book was reviewed in numerous national publications in the US and the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.126.231 (talk) 17:04, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
