Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Article is almost entirely sourced on Amazon pages. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:09, 21 June 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete No proper references and sources are available. External links come out of a single source. Seems to be a promotional. Ashishkafle ( talk) 14:06, 21 June 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep Enough independent sources provided now including from the Smithsonian Institute, the Edwards Air Force base's page and L.A. Times prove his notability. Plus he has collaborated on many books and published two himself! I mean if that's not enough... Antonio Daddy of Many Martin ( aha) 19:24, 21 June, 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment @ AntonioMartin: Two books? I've published over two dozen. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:05, 21 June 2020 (UTC) reply
    • comment Perhaps you, my esteemed friend, should have an article written about as well!..:) Antonio GTA5 Player Martin ( aha) 05:42, 22 June, 2020 (UTC)
• Keep, but shorten Keep the notable, verifiable, and unique-to-know content. Parts such as paintings of airplanes can either be put at the 'Personal life' section, or wiped out. References should also be accurate and not Amazon pages, as well as not reusing in the same sentence. User:Gerald Waldo Luis ( talk) 11:23, 26 June, 2020 (UTC)
