Delete the coverage is the local news coverage of an aspiring writer that does not show notability.

Delete as above I agree its not noteworthy enough. Only local news about aspiring writer. I also see that the user that created the page has only had edits regarding this page. It seems like they have a connection to person in article. They also tried to remove the template for this discussion.Reb1981 (

Delete - essentially, this is
an unsourced BLP. The lead paragraph has a single source to local media. The second section has a single source, which is not about the subject at all, but the subject's brother, who is also
not notable. The third section is totally unsourced. The fourth section goes on about his being "a bookseller at
Barnes and Noble", a job which I have also held, and just means that you work in one of their retail stores as a cashier and stocking books. How this is not
autobiography or
original research is beyond me. The rest of the career section concerns hisinterviewing other people. I'm pinging
DGG to see if the subject's books, as noted in sections six and eight, are well stocked. Sections five and seven are likewise unsourced at all. The creator
attempted three times to delete the AfD tag, so
salting might be needed.

Delete. Only one book, actually, and that one not merely self published but not even in WorldCat--and, amazingly, not even in Amazon. DGG (
