- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete. No clear support for keeping the article was expressed in the discussion and notability is questionable. I did consider draftifying the article, but no one seems to be working on it currently as the 10 edits prior to the nomination go back 2020. Happy to provide it if an editor is interested, or see WP:REFUND. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 00:46, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

article previously was keep, but confused how this person meets WP:GNG for persons... has not fulfilled any of the requirements and is merely quoted in many articles, the articles are providing sigcov of other topics rather than him. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 16:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

- Leaning move to draft for potential further research. If the subject is the author of a book that is considered the book on an important field, that would seem to be a reason to keep. The article seems to be claiming this, but I would want to see more evidence of this stature. BD2412 T 00:53, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Not finding anything beyond the short quotes in articles, as shown here. The book review listed here is a dead link and I can't find others. I believe that his book is self-published. The publisher, Wooden Table Press, was incorporated the year before his book was published, published no other books that I can find, and has no current web presence. It looks like a one-off to publish his book. Which also tells me that the article for Oil 101 should probably also be deleted. Lamona (talk) 04:21, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
