Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Cowlin
Having looked at Milenko's sources, I'm very unimpressed.  The GNG, which he says the subject at ''least'' passes, specifically holds that ""Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content."  Almost all of these sources are about this ''quiz book'' and not about the one of several co-authors mentioned, although Mr. Cowlin seems to be the most frequently quoted of the lot; surely Milenko knows that a source, to be valid, must be about the ''subject,'' and not merely mentioning his name in passing.  #3 requires a "significant or well-known" book, but for a book to be deemed such under its own notability guideline: "Some of these sources should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary.  The immediately preceding criterion excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book."  This is what we're seeing here
