NN author, fails the GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Searches turn up sellers like Amazon, Goodreads and various social media sites, but no evidence of
significant coverage in reliable sources and none presented in the article. The front page of his website for his flagship "non-trilogy" (his words, and which article I'm likewise nominating) has a comment section where exactly three readers have chimed in, not a sterling sign of being noticed. Notability tagged for over ten years.
Keep and speedy close. ISFDB shows multiple reviews of the author's commercially published print novels, and genre book review indices show even more; reviews can be found in outlets like Asimov's Science Fiction, Publishers Weekly, Locus, and Science Fiction Chronicle. Worldcat search also shows some library holdings for the original print editions, which for three-decades-old paperbacks indicates much more extensive original holdings. Whether the two articles should be merged is a reasonable question, but calls for a standard merge discussion rather than AFD.
The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong! (
