 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article was deleted in the AfD for the subject's pen name at Articles for deletion/F. X. Reid and was then created under this title the next day. Yaksar (let's chat) 18:49, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I note that recreation under the real name was suggested by one of those giving a "delete" opinion at the last AfD. Is there any substantive reason for deletion, other than that the pseudonymously titled article was deleted? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:40, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The article on Reid seems to have been deleted  on the basis that the only references were mentions of Reid in Shields' books. That reason obviously does not apply.   DGG ( talk ) 02:31, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep — Mike Shields is notable as an academic in his own right as well as the pseudonym F. X. Reid. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 09:48, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep with reservation I declined G4 as the article is not the same (even though about the same person). This gives a fuller picture of both sides of the subject. While I am fairly sure that the subject is notable, I would like to see better referencing in terms of WP:RS. There's a bit too much close connection for me to be totally happy.
