Fails WP:ANYBIO, I dont think Cosmopolitan magazine’s ‘Hot Read of the Month’ qualifies as a major award neither do "book of the week" by Sunday times. Also fails WP:AUTHOR, one of his works was of particular interest to a non-notable studio, and a movie was planned but never took off. All his works were only published by non-notable companies, and since he is still actively writing, could be notable in the future, But not now. Daiyusha (talk) 08:38, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

 * WP:G11 Is this self written or WP:PAIDEDITING? Also it was created by User:Rossychurch which seems a complete conflict of interested. Govvy (talk) 00:18, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Userfy Borderline notability for author of thriller/crime novels. His novels have been reviewed - I added reviews to page.   I have not found profiles.  Article is new, poorly written, and pretty obvious COI.  He has just signed a 3-book deal and could become more clearly notable soon.  He is close to passing WP:AUTHOR.  I recommend that we userfy and urge the author of this page to take a closer look at how articles are written and how notability established for writers by reading and making improvements on other pages about books, writers, Capetown, or whatever topics interest.  If some of the forthcoming novels get a little press attention (reviews, author profiles, interviews) this page can be brought back to mainspace.  But unless someone can show more reviews and WP:SIGCOV, it looks as though it  is WP:TOOSOON.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:13, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no material article on this subject in a major RS.  Probably a COI issue here too. Britishfinance (talk) 10:05, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, it is not necessary for an WP:AUTHOR to have had a profile or article including bio details - I assume that this is what User:Britishfinance means  by  "material article" -   Book reviews in major publications support notability for AUTHORS, and this write has had them in the Cape Argus, Cape Times (hometown) and Sydney Morning Herald (not hometown.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:57, 4 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep (Blocked editor) The article does appear to be COI but the author seems worthy of a Wikipedia page. A lot of edits are needed thoughKleinEthan (talk) 11:58, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. If we needed any more evidence of COI activity. Britishfinance (talk) 15:01, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete At this time—unnotable. Trillfendi (talk) 21:36, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete both reasons apply 1. sourcing fails WP:N (likely TOOSOON) and 2. promo Widefox ; talk 10:44, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep If he's so non-notable, how come his pageviews are so high???? Johnbod (talk) 21:03, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * reply That's not very high at all! Govvy (talk) 23:18, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * No, actually, for an AFD candidate it is. Really. For example it is c. 60 times higher than the last AFD bio you voted Keep for! Johnbod (talk) 03:04, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * striking my "userfy" iVote due to COI concerns. There should be no prejudice against re-creating a page in the event that future books are published and draw attention that carries him past WP:AUTHOR.  With the caveat that a new article should be written sans COI.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:01, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
