Non-notable author of seemingly non-published work. I cannot find any evidence of the existence or notability of the author, nor of the book in question. The author of this article (presumably also its subject) was adamant that he be given some time to complete this article and prove its notability (discussion mostly on the talk page), but he's now been given time and no indication of notability has been provided.
If I had to guess, I'd say that the subject self-published a work ("he founded Wave Publishing"). I suspect the line about "The 'Life Lesson book have gained notable attention, won several awards, and sold more than 100 million copies" is a leftover from the JK Rowling article the editor mentioned he used as the template.
I feel like the editor of this article has now been given time and the benefit of the doubt, and what we're looking at now is simply self-promotion. FlyingToaster 17:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - even if we ignore all the inconsistencies, and the complete absence of any reliable source, the only real claim is that he has self-published a book in a print-run of 1,000 copies. No way is this notable. JohnCD (talk) 18:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
