Fails

WP:AUTHOR. I can't find any coverage about this author in reliable sources. The original contributor is blocked for faking references and had a history of spamming. SmartSE (talk) 22:29, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply

Delete. Lots of coverage via blogs, Facebook, etc. but couldn't find much in the way of reliable sources, either. Doesn't pass

Delete for now. All the current press coverage is related to promotional work for the book. NOTE - The book appears to have won a regional award, and if it wins a national award or multiple regional awards, then that would bring it up to notability. But it's not there yet. --Lquilter (talk) 17:16, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Same reasons as above - non-notable, heavy on promotion, mostly created by an editor whose primary purpose was WP promotion. KarlM (talk) 23:10, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
