Oaktree b ( talk ) 16:07, 22 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete.  I'm seeing (1) some routine coverage of the publication of his new books, (2) a couple of passing mentions of his name in articles on other topics, (3) some advertisements , and (4) a couple of book reviews .  None of that seems like it meets the threshold for notability.  — Moriwen ( talk ) 16:22, 22 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment It would be good to check for a pass of WP:NAUTHOR : if multiple of his books pass WP:NBOOK with 2 reviews, that would be a NAUTHOR pass.  The Christianity Today book review linked above as "routine coverage" is by no means routine coverage; it is an NBOOK-qualifying source for Even in Our Darkness (as long as it is an independent RS, which I do not know).  If a second review for that book is found, that book passes NBOOK and he's part of the way along to NAUTHOR.  (Routine coverage in an NBOOK context would be this kind of thing .)  Note than an NAUTHOR pass does not require biographical coverage of the author.  ~ L 🌸 ( talk ) 23:19, 24 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as well as the Christianity Today review there is also this piece in the Publisher's Weekly here which states that two of his books sold 400,000 copies combined which suggests there should be reviews.  I found this review here and a number of reviews listed in Google Books but i didn't get any previews, Atlantic306 ( talk ) 21:39, 28 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Most of what appears in a quick google is blogs and other unreliable sources but I found a couple more CT articles(probably paywalled) a full review ] of his first book when it was published and news coverage of his firing from DTS.   He looks to meet WP:AUTHOR , I think.  Eluchil404 ( talk ) 01:25, 20 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.  Please do not modify it.
