The result was   delete. Lulu books can receive a 'review' at Amazon, but that does not indicate notability. seicer &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  03:39, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

No indication of meeting WP:BIO. Google is unhelpful due to confusion with his more famous namesake Patrick Stewart. Contested PROD.  Sandstein  20:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:CRYSTAL WP:BIO. Schuym1 (talk) 20:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:CRYSTAL is irrelevant. There are no predictions in this article. The subject is an author published by a respected (i.e. not vanity) publisher (McFarland & Company). His books are available through Amazon, . Pburka (talk) 21:07, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Very Weak Keep Being available at amazon means nothing--if one gives them a commission they'll sell anything. However, there are significant reviews of at least one  book: Madden, W C, Patrick J Stewart, and Steven P Gietschier. 2004. "Book Reviews - The Western League: A Baseballp Histog, 1885 Through 1999". Journal of Sport History. 31, no. 1: 94.--I'm not sure if that shows merely comprehensive coverage or actual notability. Both are reasonable available at worldCat libraries: 109, & 76 holdings. He's coauthor--Madden is a somewhat more widely published baseball historian. Other reviews would be needed.

 * Delete: One book listed on Amazon who will shill for anyone at a price and one review of one book does not prove WP:Notability. -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 23:29, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:BIO. Notability is not even close to established. Boston (talk) 02:49, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unable to locate any additional sources; ghits are almost all vendors of his books.  I'm afraid his work simply does not seem to be notable. JulesH (talk) 08:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
