Many of the sources are unreliable, non-independent, or not focused on Mr. Zeihan as an individual, but rather on his books. While some of his books may be notable, notability is not inherited from them. The Times-Republican piece is the only one I can find online that represents in-depth coverage in a reliable source, but one is not enough. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. —Ganesha811 (talk) 21:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC) Withdraw appears to be notable per WP:NAUTHOR per consensus below. —Ganesha811 (talk) 12:52, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * There's a couple book reviews in there along with the Guardian which definitely at least demonstrates if not proves notability. My issue with the article is that it reads very promotionally and needs to be fundamentally rewritten, possibly thru TNT. SportingFlyer  T · C  23:59, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: Passes AUTHOR with, and this is about the ideas in his book  Oaktree b (talk) 00:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: The subject is notable and clearly meets WP: NAUTHOR  Otuọcha   (talk) 08:19, 10 March 2024 (UTC)


 * For sources not independent of the subject but his book is literally a translation that he is notable so far the book wasn't co-authored. There were also/seems to see some sources that talked about him. That is not WP: INHERIT. How do the sources not pass WP: NAUTHOR, when there are clear review of books example by Publishers weekly, Washington Post and Kirkus Review. Do it need any other non variable to meet notability since the article and its subject falls under the article aspect of a book writer (an author).  Otuọcha   (talk) 08:30, 10 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment: If the case per WP: BEFORE is being promotional. Then, it should be rewritten and not subjected to AFD!  Otuọcha   (talk) 08:32, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
