Nathan Jendrick[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article written as if it was a promotional blog for the books Jendrick has written. Nothing in the refs conveys any sense of notability - mostly links to Google books . The SPA author of this article removed an earlier PROD without providing any better evidence of notability. Fails WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 01:40, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails the notability guideline for authors, as well as the general notability guideline. schetm (talk) 02:17, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Google links appear to be bibliographies of other books that the author is cited in, which would give credit to the author being notable and referenced. Author is important to the doping-in-sports debate and has been in media as a subject expert, further adding notability. Article seems to just need improvement. Removed a quote from a magazine review that seemed directed toward a particular book's sales. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editsatnight (talk • contribs) 05:25, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Please read general notability guielines for a clear understanding of what is required. Being mentioned in others books does not inherently demonstrate notability. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 09:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Editsatnight: The article as presently written will be deleted. However, you could ask to have it moved to a draft on your page, where you could try to bring it up to standard. I recommend that you read all of the advice pages on how to create a page and on what sort of sources a individual needs pass our notability standards. And I also recommend that you spend a little time editing, It is the best way to learn how wikipedia works. Then try reading, and maybe improving, articles on swimming, writers who write about sports, or other topics that interest you. At that point, you will either see that the kind of sources necessary to build a page for Jendrick are lacking, or you will know how to write a proper, well-sourced page. You can make an offer here, and see if other editors agree to allow you to move this page to a draft. Good luck and I hope that you will join us and make the effort to become a capable editor here.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
