Peter Goes fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. None of the references found in the article are independent of the subject, being written by him or published by his publisher. I was also unable to find any sources that are independent. Mikalagrand (talk) 15:05, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, for reasons already listed. Fails WP:GNG. Megtetg34 (talk) 19:00, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep- His works have won significant critical attention- His first book Timeline has been reviewed by The New York Times, The Financial Times, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Wall Street Journal, and briefly mentioned in a review by The Guardian. His book Rivers has been reviewed by Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews, while Follow Finn has been reviewed by Kirkus Reviews. So passes criterion 4 of WP:AUTHOR. -- Ashley yoursmile!  08:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:NAUTHOR, as books "well known" ie. Timeline, 350 libraries, Tijdlijn (in Dutch) 110 libraries, Rivers, 180 libraries, Rivieren (in Dutch) 115 libraries, and Follow Finn, 130 libraries, with multiple reviews (entitled to their own standalone wikiarticles) as brought out by  above, more can be found with a gsearch ie. Timeline reviewed by Reading Time here, Rivers reviewed by De Standaard here. Coolabahapple (talk) 13:21, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I found some sources in similar journals to Ashley but her findings alone (let alone the additional context found by Coolabahapple) suggests notability under WP:NAUTHOR. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
