Non notable author: 2 self published books, on iuniverse, which worldcat shows is almost no library. Appearance at country dinners of a political party is not notability , and that they would even be mentioned here shows the lack of substantial accomplishments. Writing for a website and appearing on talk shows can in rare cases be notable even if its someone's major activity, but it takes more evidence than routine announcements or citations to the shows.
This is essentially advertising, and that it was accepted at AfC is a little surprising, even given current standards there. DGG ( talk ) 23:59, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:AUTHOR with lack of reviews in reliable sources. Media coverage is just local press or non- WP:RS blogs, often only event listings. Lacks sufficient coverage to show notability. There are also problems with advertising and WP:LINKFARM (with all the links to his articles and YouTube stuff) but these aren't grounds for deletion. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 11:06, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

- Delete fails WP:BIO. most of the sources merely confirm he turned up and talked at a non notable event. I suspect this is self promotion and that it was previously deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick Adams (politician). LibStar ( talk) 02:08, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- Speedy delete. LibStar is quite right that this has been previously deleted. Frickeg ( talk) 02:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
