A BLP about a non-notable columnist, still no sources about him found in a search. Doesn't meet inclusion standards but, more importantly, doesn't have enough sources to justify or sustain a biography of a living person.

Delete Promotyional article on the author of a single book-- a book which is found in a total of 2 libraries, according to Worldcat.
[1]. I don't see how he is at all likely to be notable for his other work when his book on the same general subject was such a failure,. DGG (

Book reviews in three blue-linked journals per
WP:AUTHOR #3 is notable. Nothing in the guidelines about WorldCat/Goodread/Libraything holdings, etc.. for a reason - notability is not a popularity contest - this author's conservative views are not very popular. --

Delete. I don't think these local/fringe book reviews meet our standards for purposes of establishing notability in reliable sources. He writes a lot but does not appear to be notable. –

Delete, reviews of his book in a few fringe journals and newspapers might be an argument for notability for the book, but not for the author.

You seem inclined to disparage the RS blue-linked refs as "fringe". Why is that? Thanks.

Agreed the sources are not fringe. Also, reviews of works are considered a sign of notability for creative professionals. --

Keep One of the journals is Algemeiner. On February 22 Algemeiner's editor in chief, David Efune, was interviewed on CNN [

Keep P.David Hornik writes regularly for a number of respected political journals most notably Frontpage.Com. Algemeiner, PJMedia.Com Jerusalem Post He is one of the most well- known and respected journalists reporting on Israeli affairs from a Conservative point- of-view. I cannot understand at all the effort to delete his entry. I wonder if it has a political bias. — Preceding

Shalom, I voted Keep also, but it's not a case of bias. Thargor is just persistent as you can see from his homepage, if it fails the first time Thargor saves it for later to try again. That's considered acceptable up to a point. There is no pattern of bias (ie. jewish or conservative topics). --
