[edit] Joel Salatin

Tagged speedy but contains assertion of notability. Listing here. My instinct says delete but I haven't researched it. Chick Bowen 20:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Keep. Article needs to meet criteria in WP:BIO which would require "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more". Amazon and google searches show author appears to have met this criteria. Monkeyman^(talk) 20:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as above. Amazon [1] and Google [2] searches do satisfy WP:BIO. bcasterline^talk 21:10, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep as above. When an Amazon check shows that Amazon physically stocks an author's books, you should presume that the author's ales meet the notability requirements. And if your instinct says delete, take the 5 minutes required to actually to the research. Monicasdude 21:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Please be civil. As I said, I listed this because it was tagged as CSD and I did not think it met the criteria (and I did not delete it, I would point out). If you think it should be kept, you may vote keep, as you've done. Chick Bowen 01:50, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if he has some books on amazon. However, it is not the responsibility of AFD contributors to show that an article is notable or should be kept. That falls on the page creator or the person or persons saying that the article should be kept. Stifle 13:11, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep If other entries already made links to an article/bio on this individual, a bio is needed.
