No sources containing significant coverage within the article, and I cannot find any myself. Sources within the article are two of the subject's own websites and listings in an encylopaedia and directory. Does not meet WP:GNG. pinktoebeans (talk) 19:54, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: barring me missing something, I'm finding sources that attribute some notable ideas to him. See NPR and the study they reference. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:23, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: These seem to be passing mentions to me, and are not about the author themselves, rather his ideas/concepts and the Oakland Men's Project, suggesting to me an article on the author himself still wouldn't pass WP:BIO. pinktoebeans  (talk) 10:48, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:NAUTHOR, failed to find WP:SIGCOV that would establish notability. Longhornsg (talk) 05:56, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. In addition to the sources indicated above there is also a decent amount of reviews and coverage of Kivel's first book. gidonb (talk) 00:39, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: Then it may be more appropriate to create a page on said book - I cannot find enough significant coverage of the author himself or his ideas/concepts to pass WP:NAUTHOR pinktoebeans  (talk) 12:23, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This is why most people, including me, are still on the fence. We see indications of importance and exchange these. Not yet proof of GNG. Barren proof of the GNG or NAUTHOR these observations would become eventually deletes. Please allow everyone their due dillegence and the positive exchange of observations. gidonb (talk) 14:20, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
