The two NY Times articles make statements about his work and background, in addition to indirectly (no quote marks) quoting him, and are significant coverage. The nominator went through the article and removed refs to the two New York Times articles as dead links, then removed the text they were there to support as unsourced.An article about him in a local paper was removed as a deadlink, as was the text it supported. A Wall Street Journal article from 1998 that purportedly said the older edition of his "Pathfinder" book was a national bestseller was also removed. It would be easy to check the accuracy of that info at a library. Someone with the 2 NY Times article, the lengthy local newspaper article, and who actually had a national bestseller, would have a good  case for satisfying .

Material self-published by the article subject may be used in some cases, as outlined at  but it does not establish notability
