Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vernon Coleman
I'm not sure I understand the deletion rationale. He clearly meets / regardless of the soundness of his claims and current state of the article. Since most of his work was pre-Internet it's not so easy to gsearch, but even still I found several sources in the first few pages of hits: According to http://www.sundaypost.com/travel/international/my-favourite-holiday-vernon-coleman-1.313956 this source he's "sold more than two million books in the UK alone", http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/doctor-on-the-make-1303622.html The Independent (arts and ents section, 1996), http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2014-03-17/leader/the-rule-of-lawanimal-rights-human-wrongs-4289560577/ The Independent again, http://www.animalliberationfront.com/ALFront/Interviews/Interview%20with%20Vernon%20Coleman.htm interview with Animal Liberation Front (eh), Lengthy review of Betrayal of Trust in The Ecologist vol 28 no 6 (Nov/Dec 1998), Several works reviewed in The Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health (http://rsh.sagepub.com/search/results?fulltext=%22vernon+coleman%22&x=0&y=0&submit=yes&journal_set=sprsh&src=selected&andorexactfulltext=and search results) (about as respected as journals get, I think -- now known as Perspectives on Public Health), http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/what-seems-to-be-the-problem-doctor-coleman-1105857.html The Independent again... Looks like while his books are self-published, they've received pretty considerable attention in respectable publications. I don't know that any would independently meet NBOOKS, but the combined coverage lends notability to the author, especially since he seems to be a rather controversial figure. --&mdash
