A promotional article for a non notable author, by using aggressive PR techniques, unverified claims, paid for advertising articles, with a high chances of COI & UPE involved. All the books by the subject seems to be non notable but still the editor created articles for all of them. The subject clearly fails wp:NAUTHOR.

- Delete. I was going to wait to nominate this page until the AFDs for the subject's books have concluded - but none of the books appear notable to me, and if they are not notable then there is no case for WP:NAUTHOR.
