Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David J. Schwartz (motivational writer)
To me, the sources that Frayae found are not Reliable Sources as required to meet . They are more the kind of sources that will uncritically praise something and/or repeat whatever the author has said about himself. (If we could find independent confirmation of the claimed 4 million sales, that would certainly help.) We still have virtually no Reliable Sources about him. But I agree that it can be hard to find material on pre-Internet subjects. Anyhow, if the consensus here turns out to be Keep despite the poor sourcing, I will take responsibility for putting the article in shape. That would involve summarizing or removing almost all of the current content, which is almost entirely promotional; adding a few references such as the ones Frayae found; and reducing it to an encyclopedic stub, which is a perfectly acceptable form of Wikipedia article provided it is sourced
