Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Don Smith (author)
It is clear that Smith was a very popular author.  Also, because' that  this is a new article, Nom could have tagged it for better sourcing, but taking it immediately to deletion was hasty and ignored indications (publishers don't keep publishing novelists who lack sales) of novelists notability.  There are probably more books that mention him and there are certainly snippet views of passages mentioning, discussing these novels in older books and magazine articles that are not online but that come up in snippet views.   I am persuaded not only that more sources can be found by diligent searching, but that Smith's ''oeuvre'' makes him NOTABLE.  Passes
