Lack of notability Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 05:32, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I've now taken a look at the sources by Goldsztajn. The reviews of his two books do appear to be independent and should count towards WP:AUTHOR, which calls for 'multiple independent periodical articles or reviews'. I have no problem changing my original !vote. Modussiccandi (talk) 17:07, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Lots of comments, not much consensus.

- Keep The subject's books get reviewed, and discussed by major reliable organisations, and are held by major libraries. There are bios by major/reliable organisations with editorial overview, eg [1], and [2]. Aoziwe (talk) 10:10, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I must say that these two links do not change my judgement of the subject. They are both bios from websites he has contributed to and cannot, therefore, be considered independent. They are not the kind of coverage called for by WP:GNG. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:15, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- That is not completely correct. The ABC is a state broadcaster, akin to the CBC or the BBC; its basis of independence is legally constituted. I would agree that in itself, the bio is not an indicator of notability, but the source can be considered reliable and the contents can form *part* of considerations as to whether the subject is notable. The point is, the ABC source itself should not be rejected out of hand, just used appropriately. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 21:22, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, I now realise that I may have misunderstood Aoziwe's point. Yes, of course, the content of the sources may point towards the subject meeting some aspect of an SNG. I felt that Aoziwe was arguing that these bios help the subject reach GNG (perhaps this is what they are arguing?). Modussiccandi (talk) 22:08, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Correct - not by themselves but they do contribute. (I did not claim WP:ANYBIO.) Aoziwe (talk) 09:15, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
