Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Matthews (writer)
This http://www.penguin.co.uk/nf/Author/AuthorPage/0,,1000015884,00.html is the author, not the link per the nominator. I looked up the notability claim of one of his books, ''Past Imperfect'' being a bestseller and on a Times list. I found nothing to verify this. The book does in fact exist, on both Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Past-Imperfect-John-Matthews/dp/0140277544/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215248854&sr=1-2 and Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/Past-Imperfect-John-Matthews/dp/0140277544 though neither stock it. In the media, I can find little on the author. He does appear in one Google news result http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=Past+Imperfect+john+matthews&btnG=Search&um=1 (First result), but a paid result so can't tell the contents. As such, none of books seem to pass  and as an author he certainly doesn't appear to meet notability requirements, hence I vote a strong delete
