and allow continued improvements to this stub. WP:AUTHOR does not refer to only authors of books, but is set to address creative individuals in general.  As the MTV show ''The Buried Life '', "major" or not, has established notability enough to merit a Wikipedia article, it can be argued that this person, as creator, executive producer and cast member of the show, meets . And the book ''What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?'' '''IS''' a book, '''DID''' make the New York Times Bestseller list,http://newsroom.mtv.com/2012/04/05/buried-life-book-makes-best-seller-list-19-crossed-off-bucket-list/ and '''WAS''' in fact co-authored by Nemtin,http://books.google.com/books?id=qzhdZDhTMY4C&printsec=frontcover&dq=%22What+Do+You+Want+to+Do+Before+You+Die?%22&source=bl&ots=MmfLsX87gU&sig=oaUA_0ankhFTURkIfcXQYFUZ7wI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=U18XUJHeBYSjrQHR1oDYDw&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22What%20Do%20You%20Want%20to%20Do%20Before%20You%20Die%3F%22&f=false so a claim that it is not a book or that Nemtin had no part in its creation is patently incorrect. As a book itself receiving coverage in multiple reliable sources,http://www.google.com/search?q=New+York+Times+bestseller+list%2C+http%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DqzhdZDhTMY4C%26printsec%3Dfrontcover%26dq%3D%2522What%2BDo%2BYou%2BWant%2Bto%2BDo%2BBefore%2BYou%2BDie%3F%2522%26source%3Dbl%26ots%3DMmfLsX87gU%26sig%3DoaUA_0ankhFTURkIfcXQYFUZ7wI%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26ei%3DU18XUJHeBYSjrQHR1oDYDw%26ved%3D0CDAQ6AEwAA%23v%3Do&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1#q=%22What+Do+You+Want+to+Do+Before+You+Die%3F%22&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&tbm=nws&prmd=imvns&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ei=2GAXUPXbCMi4rQG5_ICoBQ&ved=0CCUQpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=d02239687ac47524&biw=1024&bih=616 the book meets the standards set at  per  and the "author" portion of |guideline and  is met.
