BLP with lots of references to his own writing, but nothing independent. There are other people with the same name. He has certainly written some books and is good at publicity. Rathfelder (talk) 21:50, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Delete I could not find references mentioned to 2007 SFO magazine book of the year and 2002 Barron's book of the year in a google search myself. At least I could not find it. Dosnot not seem to meet WP:NAUTHOR at least no rs provided in article says that. I check back and may change my comment if there is any sources provided by others.Singularitywiki (talk) 23:35, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR. Though he has written numerous books, none of the books pass WP:NOTBOOK. Other than a couple of trivial reviews and PR releases, there is virtually no coverage of the subject in reliable, independent, secondary sources. Banks Irk (talk) 17:38, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
