Terry D. Scheerer

Science-fiction writer of doubtful notability. BLP-PROD was removed and a heap of refs added, but they are all to the subject's own website or to press releases authored by him. Not a single piece of non-trivial independent coverage in reliable sources. Article written by single-purpose promotional account. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I recommend checking out The World of Myth Magazine and MythWurks Corporation, potentially adding one or both to this AfD. Both concern Sheerer and both seem to have similar issues with the articles. There's a big COI/ADVERT issue here.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:14, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have listed both for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MythWurks Corporation. I'll research and give my opinion on Scheerer in a little bit.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:33, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I did a search for the author's name, as I know that just because one thing isn't notable doesn't mean that something else might not be. I was unable to find coverage of Sheerer in anything that was both independent and reliable. There's some blog hits and tons of press releases, but none of that shows notability. This is ultimately a non-notable author as far as Wikipedia guidelines go.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of significant third-party coverage can be found. JoshuSasori (talk) 11:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence of notability, books etc are all self-published. Does not meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 11:56, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
