Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leo Ford (2nd nomination)
The extent of coverage in the sources can absolutely be verified. Publishers and ISBN numbers are provided. You have just chosen not to leave your computer to verify the sources. There is nothing at all in  that requires that sources be online to be reliable: "The term "published" is most commonly associated with text materials, either in traditional printed format or online." Wikipedia:Offline sources says (in bold text, no less), "'''Even though Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, there is no distinction between using online versus offline sources.'''" In fact, you should not believe everything you read on the internet. An AfD cannot rely on your "guess" about what the sources say or don't say
