Insufficient notability for this wiki, does not meet WP:AUTHOR. One hit on Highbeam, one passing mention on Google News. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:37, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: if the article looks very short as it now stands, that is because I have commented out a good quantity of completely unreferenced material (this is, after all, a BLP). That content is of course still accessible in edit mode or through the history. I can't see the content of the previously deleted version; this could be eligible for speedy deletion as G4.

 * Note: I went and peeked at the old deleted versions, I don't think it's G4-eligible. --j⚛e deckertalk 16:11, 27 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment One of his novels has won an award from the Independant Book Publishers Association, but I don't know if this is considered a significant award.TheLongTone (talk) 11:18, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Obscure author. Typically need some mainstream book reviews to meet AUTHOR. Maybe I am missing it but can't find any. Based on the bio at Amazon he is a businessman from LA with blurbs the Mayor of LA etc.. the book awards are not significant and one USA Best Book Awards is a vanity award. His publisher Glyd-Evans has a catalog of 6 books of which Maitland's comprise 3. -- Green  C  23:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
