 * Comment Even though I sort of "created" this article by moving it (see the story on the talk page) I do not vouch for it.  In fact, my first guess is that it should get deleted, but I am not weighing in because I don't have knowledge in that genre, nor have I done the research to say "delete" with confidence that I am being fair.

 * Delete Unable to find sources that would pass notability. Simply doing things (author, DJ etc) is not enough. Need independent sources about Pattison per WP:GNG. Article is a vanity spam tizement removed the Amazon link w/ referral code. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 07:31, 8 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete It was I that initially proposed deletion. I would think it would be done by now. He is not at all significant as a writer in either the "young adult" nor the "horror" categories of fiction, and I have worked professionally in both, but the simplest of web searches will bear this out. Also he has abused wikipedia by inserting afiliate links to his books in his own article...please give the man the ol' heave-ho ASAP. Bustter (talk) 08:32, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
