Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gerard de Marigny
If there are sources about him being part of Americade (band)|Americade that aren't primary then that can help establish notability, assuming that the band is notable. Offhand it looks like it should be, however I note that the same COI that has been editing de Marigny's article was also editing the band's article, so the band's notability is somewhat questionable given the semi-promotional tones in the band article and the relatively weak sourcing currently in Americade's article. I'll see what I can find, but offhand the article seems to focus a lot on his novel. I'm going to remove the mentions of it selling well on Amazon, since that's not something that would give notability and we can only really add that to the article if there is a lot of coverage in independent RS that would justify adding it. So far this looks to be a great example of why COI editing should be done extremely carefully, since there's so much promotional puffery in the article (and in the band's article) that it would probably need to be |TNT'd in order to make it fit NPOV and GNG
