Non-notable book. This is a first hand account by the author about his affliction with dissociative identity disorder. Book was on NYT bestseller list in 1999, but otherwise is non-notable. Author did appear on a few TV shows when the book was published. Never reviewed by major newspapers or mainstream media. The author has not written any other books or articles on the subject. Author is not otherwise notable. Book does not appear to be cited by mainstream medical literature. —G716 <^T·_C> 22:41, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Here's an article from Time[1]. At one point there were plans to turn this into a film starring Robin Williams. Plus being on the New York Times bestseller list is notability on its own, in my view. Pburka (talk) 23:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, notable as an author. I'd suggest moving this article to Cameron West and cutting most of the plot summary. Tim Vickers (talk) 00:08, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've removed most of the plot summary and added proper references. I'm not sure the move makes sense, as I think the book is more notable than the author in this case. I'd prefer to redirect the author to the book. Pburka (talk) 17:12, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • On reflection, I think you're right. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Pburka. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 00:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I agree with Pburka —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladyjjames (talk • contribs) 02:19, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep after rework and Agree with redirecting the author to the book as the book as much more WP:N than the author. Medicellis (talk) 01:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
