Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colin Barrow
We seem to be getting a lot of WP articles for authors at Kogan Page which makes me wonder if there isn't something coordinated going on. Notability for authors is not just a question of having written some books, and articles about authors need to be much more than bibliographies. There need to be reviews of the books, articles about the author and the author's importance in the world, etc. My gut feeling is that there will be few business authors who rise to WP standards. In a sense they are like the authors of self-help books -- they mainly give advice but there's little hard or even soft science to their writing. Like other authors, time (probably decades) will be needed to determine if their books have had an impact. If someone is dedicating themselves to adding these authors to WP, you might want to save yourself and the rest of us a lot of time by taking a serious look at
