 * Delete Unlike Michig I am unimpressed by the links, above, as well as those I came across. The articles above have only mentions of Taylor and of his books. I found no reviews of the books, and all of 13 ratings on Amazon of "Document and Eyewitness". It's listed as "#10,070 in Rock Music (Books)". He gets a name-check in articles about C86 and its redo, but not enough for BIO. Lamona (talk) 01:16, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You say you "found no reviews of the books" - three of the links I listed above are reviews of his books. --Michig (talk) 09:38, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You are right (at least 2 of them, one I cannot access - FT). I was looking in standard book sources. Other than FT, which I have to take on faith, the other two are Record Collector and Louder Than War. Both are quite brief, and I doubt if those would be enough to establish notability for the book. However, they clearly do not establish notability for the author. Lamona (talk) 16:29, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
