The result was delete both. Some of the !votes appear to possibly be only about the subject article, while two !votes following the nomination (from Rayman60 and Edwardx) appear to pertain to both the subject and the book. As such, both articles qualify for deletion per the consensus in this discussion. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:20, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Young author not yet notable per WP:AUTHOR or WP:BIO. After several days of proposed deletion on notability, all the article creator could find was some local press clippings, which is better than I could manage. He's written a book, but neither he nor the book appear to have had the kind of substantial coverage required for WP:GNG. WP:TOOSOON at best. OnionRing (talk) 12:00, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related article on the book itself, which it turns out was only published three days before the author article was started:

• Delete - Numerous issues. Vanity/promotional page by COI new editor to promote newly published book. Not notable. Relies on primary sources and what feels like not very notable non-English sources. Nothing substantial from a respected publication/source. Rayman60 (talk) 13:21, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Lacks multiple reliable independent secondary sources addressing the subject in detail as required by WP:GNG. Googling turned up nothing. I am willing to change my !vote if new sources are found. Msnicki (talk) 14:16, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:AUTHOR. Young author, one minor book with no reviews. Edwardx (talk) 21:56, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Uncletomwood (talk) 07:54, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No credible reference added.--Lawedit (talk) 17:44, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
