Fails notability guidelines for biographies. Most of the sources found in a BEFORE search deal with the British Army officer Roger Morris, and the remaining sources found about this subject are non-independent sources lacking significant coverage of the subject. Tails  Wx  15:02, 10 November 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Wider evaluation of the sources and whether this passes NAUTHOR would be hepful. Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep Kirkus Review has reviews for 8 of Morris's books covering a sustained time period from 2007 to 2020:R N Morris.  Publishers Weekly has 7 book reviews: R N Morris.  Further book reviews in The Guardian:; Library Journal:; and Booklist:. These RS reviews should contribute to WP:NAUTHOR: multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

 * Comment Furthermore, Morris has twice been shortlisted for a notable award. Details of which, and more independent book reviews, have now been added to the article. ResonantDistortion 22:00, 11 November 2023 (UTC).

 * As well as the 18 book reviews identified above - there are another two published in the Library Journal:, and further available in the New York Times:, Spike Magazine:, The Times:, and The Millions magazine:. It is not wholly clear why the notability of the subject continues to be in doubt.  ResonantDistortion 17:23, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep: I'm a bit iffy on use of Kirkus and PW, but there's clearly sufficient critical coverage of his work elsewhere in RS above to meet NAUTHOR#3 (and coverage at a single author article is clean where individual pages for books are not needed ref WP:NOPAGE). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 08:55, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
