- Delete Not notable as author (2 books != major author), and the material in his own books != source of notability. Hit best sellers rank 493,000 and 887,000 at Amazon. Thus not notable as books either. This BLP is a promotional ad for Seymour, with all that entails, but promoting oneself online != notability either.

- Keep. Multiple reliable sources cover the author and both of his books. Additional examples: [2][3][4][5][6][7] Passes the test, clearly. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:00, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
