 * Keep. Fails WP:NAUTHOR? A film was made from his novel. If writing a book upon which a film is based doesn't qualify as creating a significant work, what does? --В²C ☎ 18:38, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thousands of books are licensed for motion picture use every single year. The book does not equal the movie in way shape or form.  If you want to claim that book is a notability pass, write the article on it.  Hint...it isn't even slightly notable.  The movie is. John from Idegon (talk) 19:44, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Brashler's Bingo Long is one of SI's top 100 sports books of all time, which continues to be a well-respected list/article. His books were reviewed in major publications, and often praised.  The references are legit.  I have only recently started editing again after being away for a decade plus--I confess that I don't know every rule and guideline, and I appreciate your help.  Thank you.Caro7200 (talk) 20:05, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * To avoid this discussion, add a couple of those reviews to this article, or in the alternative, write the article on Bingo Long. John from Idegon (talk) 20:27, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
