Unsourced BLP which I could PROD as such; I do not believe that this person is notable. What I'm seeing is promotional or self-published, nothing of real substance. TheLongTone (talk) 13:14, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I checked the first half dozen books that appear in Amazon and they are all self-published, mostly Kindle-only editions. However, he has published some of them in hard copy under imprints owned by Penguin and Harpers, and his books are listed in library catalogs under the name Timothy Freke. There are 10 such books in WorldCat, at least one with ~250 holdings (others are much less). His publishers all seem to be in the "spiritual/self help/etc." vein, a topic that I am hard-pressed to view without prejudice. There are numerous interviews with him in modern mystical resources, but I would have no idea if any of those are considered reliable sources. LaMona (talk) 17:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I searched, and could find no notability for him, or for his co-author Peter Gandy or for their book The Jesus Mysteries.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:58, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now as although News, Books, browser and highbeam all found results, there's nothing outstandingly good. SwisterTwister   talk  06:50, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - searches provided mentions, but not enough to meet the notability requirements as per WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:36, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
