 * Keep per WP:NEXIST. Reviews:, , , , , . AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:58, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable per AleatoryPonderings, but I am concerned that such poorly cited articles as this one and (much more importantly) the related page Robert Newcomb have such harshly negative tones based on essentially no sources. There might possibly be a speedy deletion argument for Robert Newcomb as a page with "biographical material that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced or poorly sourced". - Astrophobe  (talk) 06:42, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with Astrophobe too. --Gazal world (talk) 17:11, 16 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep per AleatoryPonderings's comment. --Gazal world (talk) 17:07, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Additional reviews from independent sources have been added to the page one positive: and one mixed .JCTullos (talk) 17:54, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable, but recognizing Astrophobe's concern regarding tone. Article might need some POV cleanup (though "a book sold jack and got bad reviews" isn't POV by itself). Vaticidalprophet (talk) 18:01, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:NBOOK.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:29, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:NBOOK as multiple reviews available as brought out by above, oh, and WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:53, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep seems to receive significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. The sources do not simply repeat the same information but give independent analysis. Meets our basic notability criteria found in WP:N. -- A Rose Wolf ( Talk ) 21:00, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
