Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Hearne
The author meets the basic Wikipedia:Notability (people)|notability standard set out in . {{tq|The person has created ... collective body of work, that has been the subject of ... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.}}. He's a Random House author with twelve books, and a Star Wars novel announced for March. Beyond the multiple sources listed in the article, his work has been reviewed multiple times in ''Publishers' Weekly'', ''Library Journal'' and others. http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-345-52247-4, http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-345-52249-8 The nomination's claim that there are no independent sources simply isn't true. Reviews for books are what we use to determine if an author has been noted; they don't ''disqualify'' him for notability. That's silly. The previous deletion was based on an article that didn't have the present sourcing. I think it was also previous to him being sourced as a ''New York Times'' best selling author. The ''New York Times'' best seller list is something better than a generic "X list" for showing that an author is considered notable
