This article on a young guy lacks reliable sources, even he is a writer and it has been PROD many times before also. Most of the references are self promotional. Fail WP:GNG A.Minkowiski _Lets t@lk 18:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete I restate my previous nomination for deletion: "Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines and WP:NAUTHOR. The subject has written a lot of books but I am not seeing any RS reviews or commentary outside of bookstore sites, reddit etc." Since this has been recreated without better sources it should be WP:SALTED so we do not end up here a third time before this person gets some significant RS coverage.

- Writerlier: There are now third-party, journalistic articles and radio shows. One show, the Writer 2.0 Podcast, is held by a professor of journalism at NYU. Another newspaper article is from the Tufts University Daily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Writerlier (talk • contribs) 19:49, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - the writing highlighted in the bio is all self-published. Blythwood (talk) 21:49, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Note Based on the books listings at Amazon they seem to all be self published eg The Death of Ydain - Publisher:CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. Self published works are, per WP:NBOOK inherently non-notable as are the writers there of, no matter how prolific they are nor how much they may want a Wikipedia article.
