Rod Anderson (writer)
Contested prod, and in the "lacking importance" category since last June. He's an apparently self-published writer of marginal notability, and the article lacks sources.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  12:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, I agree with Radiant. --Futurano 21:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. Of the four books listed under "Works", none are self-published. The first three are published by well-known textbook publishers. The fourth is a legitimate Canadian literary publishing company. The poetry book was reviewed in Canadian Literature, Issue No. 129, Summer, 1991 (review not available online, but see the issue's table of contents at http://www.canlit.ca/archive/archive1959-1999/cl_129.html ). Even apart from the poetry, he may also be notable as an author of textbooks. --Eastmain 03:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eastmain, those aren't vanity, they are sourced. WooyiTalk, Editor review 03:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep looks barely notable.  Grue   12:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep My researches agree with Eastmain and Wooyi's in that his books are not self-published.  I have added some information to the article about opera librettos that were written for the Canadian Opera Company, including one for which the music was written by a well-known Canadian composer, Harry Somers. --Slp1 13:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
