Keith Charters

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I'm not convinced this author has much of a claim to notability. I can't find any reviews or coverage of his four books or any articles on him personally. His novels are essentially self-published, since Charters founded the company that printed them.

The only independent coverage of any type I can find is an article mentioning in passing that Charters reported another publishing company to the police over a fraud allegation.

Happy to reassess if further coverage is unearthed but at the moment I can't find anything, not even the baseline coverage in Kirkus or Publishers Weekly. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 16:44, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete agree with above. Hard to find much of anything, I get Amazon listings, that's about it. Oaktree b (talk) 23:24, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete A mostly self-published author (he says that Strident Press is his). I don't find reviews, not even in the journals that review nearly everything, like Publishers Weekly. Lamona (talk) 04:59, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Note also that there are redirect pages from 3 of his books to his page. I don't know if those are cleaned up by some process if this page is deleted. Lamona (talk) 05:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, I made those redirects. It was all a bit of a walled garden. I'll take it to redirects for discussion (presumably?) if the Keith Charters article is deleted. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 10:59, 12 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - I would agree with the comments above and there does not seem to be anything like the sort of coverage that would suggest that the subject is an author with the level of notability that would be expected for an article.Dunarc (talk) 22:47, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
