The result was delete. I am disregarding the Keep !votes as they appear to be socking and are in any event unpersuasive. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:55, 2 July 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete - The textbook definition of a vanity page. The account that created it edited only this page, then was dormant for 4 years and created/edited one other page. No activity since. No reliable sources - the NY Times citation is literally a "letter to the editor" written by Sussman himself. There is a claim to a "Who's Who" entry but the source is the promotional page for one of his non-notable books. Coverage in reliable secondary sources that I found consists of a couple mentions in the East Hampton Star, 27east.com, and one in New York Newsday. I don't think that rises to the level required.

Delete - clumsily promotional. Is one of his books really called "See Hot They Run"??? Deb (talk) 11:11, 25 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep See Hot They Run should be See How They Run, which is a children's running book. No Mere Bagatelles by Jeffrey Sussman is a biography of Judith and Gerson Leiber, and Jeffrey Sussman was noted as the biographer of the Leibers in their obituaries that appeared in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Jeffrey Sussman's most recent book is Rocky Graziano: Fists, Fame,and Fortune which was reviewed in Publishers Weekly as well as in other periodicals.108.27.219.67 (talk) 15:59, 27 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I wouldn't call the Publisher's Weekly blurb a "review" - it's more like a quick two-paragraph summary. If that's all there is, that's far short of meeting the requirements set in WP:AUTHOR. Amsgearing (talk) 20:30, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

KEEP There are lots of other notable sources that mention this author, pictures with former President Ronald Reagan and more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vintagemovieguy (talk • contribs) 16:06, 27 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A picture with Ronald Reagan is not an indicator of notability. Amsgearing (talk) 20:29, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

KEEP There have been new source references added from The New York Times and Publishers Weekly.108.27.219.67 (talk) 20:57, 27 June 2018 (UTC).Reply[reply]

Note: the three "Keep" votes all apparently come from the same person. One IP, then a brand-new account voting 7 minutes later, then the same IP again. Amsgearing (talk) 18:46, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
