I couldn't establish that this meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG, and neither has anyone else in the 7 years that this has been tagged for notability. Pinging those who have looked at its notability:,. Boleyn (talk) 14:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC) Boleyn (talk) 14:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete This is a tough one, because the article claims that all three of his "Atlantis" novels were New York Times bestsellers. The same claim is made all over the internet, but I could not find any independent or reliable sources saying so. The books were published by a legitimate publisher - the paperback division of Simon and Schuster - as well as Kindle editions. All three books have articles here (two of them completely unsourced). But I could not find a single mainstream review of any of the three books (setting aside the usual things like Goodreads and Amazon, which add nothing to notability). Unless someone with better searching skills can find the necessary independent reliable sources, I think this article and all three articles about his books should be deleted as failing WP:GNG. --MelanieN (talk) 01:03, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - It has been a long time since I've seen a real live Unsourced BLP, as this one is. The Google footprint appears to be big enough to indicate that sourcing is out there. Unfortunately, there are waves and waves and waves of promotional pages related to individual books. A terrible article, but the official photo has an OTRS tag attached, so we can probably presume the information here is accurate, albeit unsourced. Carrite (talk) 17:33, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
