I can't find any reliable sources that show this author's notability. Schuym1 (talk) 01:07, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Polly's book "American Shaolin" was a national bestseller that was well-reviewed by American and UK papers.

He also did the national talk show circuit in support of the book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sky_xcc9RAM  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Delenda (talk • contribs) 13:53, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - article just needs expansion and references. Book is listed here with reviews; Polly seems to have considerable credentials as a journalist and columnist for esquire, playboy, etc. Cactus Writer 15:37, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep' - just a weak article; doesn't need to be deleted for that reason, as he appears to be notable enough. Bart133 t c @ How's my driving? 23:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
