 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep as I believe the sources added to the article do help it to meet WP:N. Failing that, I suggest it be moved to WP:DRAFTS so that more sources can be found. BOZ (talk) 12:41, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I searched and found nothing in a Proquest Archive Search.  gNews, search here:, The first hit confirms that he is a published writer, the other hits may not be this Murphy, but even if they are they do not support notability.  It is easy to verify that he is a published writer, but the only WP:RS in the article, School Library Journal is nothing close to the book reviews, profile articles, and discussions in scholarly articles or books needed to confirm notability.  a search of google books confirms that he wrote things, not that anyone writes about his work.  ping me to revisit if anyone can source it, failing that, delete.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:46, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - I'm leaning delete because he is clearly a successful author, I could find little coverage of him in particular, and no heavy-hitting reviews to prove WP:AUTHOR. I've with-held voting because I'm imagining there might a wealth of reviews in publications I am simply not aware of. Yvarta (talk) 19:51, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
