 * Hi, John Pack Lambert. Can you help me understand this? When you: write: No sources that pass our standards for reliable sources, Do you mean, no such sources exist? Or, simply that the page shows no such sources?  E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:53, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Obit in Tampa Bay Times established notability. I don't know how big a deal TV show Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction is/was, but it is based on Tralin's work. There is a claim that some of his work, particularly his early lesbian sex novels, have become cult items.  There is the fact that he ghost-wrote a memoir that became notorious, got banned by the Attorney General of Florida, and caused him to have to fight - and win - a slander suit against King Farouk of Egypt (the book was the memoir of a Madam whose bordello Farouk patronized).  Plus - 251 published books.  Pulp fiction and pulp occult, but 251  of them.  This guy belongs on Wikipedia because people are quite likely to want to know who he was.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:29, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
