Nothing found notable in the article though the result of 1st afd was keep but the voting was not unanimous.Non notable writer with no major 3rd person reviews and no important awards.The books too have not come out to be bestsellers as such.Hence due to non notability the article should be considered properly for deletion.

Delete unlikely an author with such obscure work would be the subject of the requisite substantial coverage by multiple reliable sources. "BeWrite Books" isn't a vanity publisher, but they are a very small POD house as far as I can tell. The fact that the article has gone entirely unimproved in the past 6 years suggests that fixing it likely isn't possible. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:29, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Here's the original AfD, btw [1] As you can see, it was hardly a ringing endorsement for keep. Qworty (talk) 05:45, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
