The result was keep. I think I could defend either a relist, or a close of NC, but I'm going to take it on faith that the sources added during this discussion are sufficient. If somebody still feels there's insufficient sourcing, feel free to bring this back to AfD for another look. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:58, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Sources: Catching up with Matt Witten, Author revisted: Matt Witten, Writer comes out with fourth Spa City mystery,  "There is No Cohesion of TV Writing Staff in Germany".  And while IMBB is not a WP:RS, his page offers info keywords that can be used.   I have added some sources to the page, but I haven't done much - and the page needs a lot.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:09, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Note Either there is also a Matt Witten who is an actor. Or this Matt Witten does some acting in plays.  Plays on page are plays he has written, noting this here only to help other editors avoid confusion because the actor with this name does get reviewed in the press.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:12, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as per the sources identified above and added to the article and also WorldCat shows here 1500 library holdings of his works which is a strong indicator of notability of an author as it implies there should be more coverage/reviews offline if not online, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:56, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Note that I sourced the page with profile articles in regional newspapers, book reviews, and reviews of his play. I did not tackle the many television series that he is credited with writing - I could have, I just didn't put the time in.  I did put in enoughtime to make this a clear pass of WP:AUTHOR.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:30, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
