Weak Keep - I'm seeing a few mainstream RS references for this guy, including a fairly significant Chicago Sun Times article. I think this guy probably meets notability requirements. The article does obviously have problems though, and this could be a potential candidate for a clean up delete per WP:TNT. NickCT (talk) 16:00, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, good deal of secondary source coverage here. — Cirt (talk) 15:38, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don;t believe that's correct. Of the 6 soruces cited, 1 is original research and 4 are the subject's own book. DavidTTTaylor (talk) 14:40, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but start over per NickCT, WP:TNT. Much of the current article violates WP:NOTRESUME and WP:OR. Bearian (talk) 18:43, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Notability seems to hang on him being author of one book (which does not seem to meet Wikipedia:Notability (books). Per Wikipedia:Notability (people) there is not significant coverage in secondary sources. The majority of citations are an interview conducted by the page author and therefore Wikipedia:Original research. The two awards cited are very localised to the subject's location and community, and not widely notable. I would support a re-write, but can notability be established?

Agree—there doesn't seem to be significant coverage in sources that are independent of the subject. Most references are related the book he wrote, but reviewing WP:AUTHOR, he doesn't meet the criteria for notability. Before voting, I would be curious to hear what those who elected to 'keep' are thinking. TheBlueCanoe 22:28, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
