Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John R. Talbott
I don't see how he can claim not to be a public person. The article can be cleaned up but there doesn't seem to be anything libelous or even negative in there.  He meets the criteria for notability in  as his works are held in major libraries without even looking at other factors such as sources, for instance, the public library system in New York City has over 70 copies of his book Obamanomics alone.  Primary sources can be used in articles, just not to establish notability. If I'm missing something here, I'll be glad to reconsider my opinion
