Author and onetime political candidate. Doesn't seem to have received a great deal of coverage, and the article reads like a promotional bio you'd find on his website. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 20:44, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per GNG. An article's quality is not a factor at AFD.--User:Namiba 12:56, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The article needs cleanup, but the subject passes WP:NAUTHOR criteria 3 as the author of a significant or well-known work or collective body of work that has been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. Reviews of Smoked in The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, The LA Times (part interview), The Mail on Sunday, Entertainment Weekly and the Birmingham Post. Reviews of The Takedown in The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Financial Times, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews and The Derby Evening Telegraph. Review of The Drop Off in The Australian. I haven't done a search for his other books, but I think those reviews are enough to pass NAUTHOR (although I'm not really sure how the subject could pass GNG...)
