Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Gallaher
An author's notability cannot be supported by his books' own catalogue profiles on the website of the company that published them, which is the only kind of sourcing present here at all — his notability has to be supported by |reliable source coverage about him and the books in ''media'', such as book reviews in the ''Vancouver Sun'' or ''The Globe and Mail'' or ''Quill & Quire''. But I can't find any reliable source coverage, nor can I find any evidence that he has the kind of notability claim (e.g. getting a Giller or Governor-General's Award nomination) that would be significant enough to entitle him to a presumption of notability ''pending'' better sources. And the article itself has some advertorial undertones, reading very much like the kind of thing one might expect to see at the top of his GoodReads profile. Neither the content nor the sourcing present here passes our notability standards for authors or musicians or air traffic controllers or social studies teachers
