The result was   keep. I am sympathetic to the nominator, but AfD is not for cleanup; linked sources indicate notability. Drmies (talk) 18:02, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a writer, evidently posted by the subject himself, which is sourced exclusively to primary sources that do not properly demonstrate that he has sufficient notability to belong in an encyclopedia. There is a potentially valid notability claim here — namely the authorship of several published books — but real, valid sourcing isn't there to back it up properly. As always, I'm willing to withdraw this if good sources can be added, but he's not entitled to keep this. Delete if it's still in its current state by close. Bearcat (talk) 17:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I added 3 reviews of his Dictionary of Unendurable English, and there's more coverage. There's also a bit of coverage about his other books and he's occasionally cited as an expert but I'm not sure I'd agree with that judgment. So meets WP:AUTHOR for one book. --Colapeninsula (talk) 08:54, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
