:::Well, yes, a "merge" proposal would have been clearer, but would IMHO also have made little sense (why merge the article about a sex author to the article about a vanity press?) You are right that the article might have been relisted in view of the new information you provided. But ultimately, I think, this new information would not have changed many minds - a blog entry, a blog-style brief book review and a passing mention in other books might qualify the book for notability, but likely not the writer.
