Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Lewis
as I noted in a comment above, the premise of this nomination is false. See http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-author-exact=Joseph%20Lewis&rank=-relevance%2C%2Bavailability%2C-daterank/102-0450314-6303341 Amazon.com hits for Joseph Lewis. Now  gives us a criterion for the evaluation of whether a dead person belongs on wikipedia: " Has the person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in the specific field? The fact that you can buy his books now on amazon even though hes been dead for a while suggests the answer is an unambiguous yes
