Based on what information I could find, I'm not convinced this author meets WP:AUTHOR's notability standards. One of the two press citations (the Independent) is broken and I couldn't find a correct reference at the Independent. That leaves only the Guardian. Second, giving away a free download may or may not be innovative enough to make him notable. Finally, the Amazon author page for Matthew Branton suggests that it's merging together multiple authors with similar names, so it's hard to find evidence of notability here either.

The Amazon page for Matthew Branton refers to the novelist and author Matthew Branton, and to one movie featuring the actor Matthew Branton, a completely different individual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manytrueroutes (talk • contribs) 09:01, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
