[edit] Aziz Kristof

WP:BIO Subject not notable Ohconfucius 07:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. He has a certain following, and authors of books on enlightenment don't get the same sales figures as cookbook authors. I think that he's notable in Buddhist circles. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 08:24, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Comment Has three books with an established publisher, gets about 400 distinct Ghits. Seems to have a niche. Dlyons493 Talk 11:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom, unless article can be expande to conform to WP:BIO standards.--Svartalf 17:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, fails WP:BIO for lacking multiple non-trivial articles by third-parties. The fact he has published books does not make him notable, the books fail WP:BK guidelines for lacking reviews or awards. The fact he may be notable in Buddhist circles only begs the questions of verification and documentation, both of which are entirely lacking. I verify 357 Ghits for "aziz kristof" (400, whatever), but at the point where people are quibbling notability for 1 million-plus Ghits websites, I scarcely am impressed by three-digits worth. Lastly, having a "niche" is not part of meeting WP:BIO. Tychocat 11:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Notability (books)

  1. Books should have at a minimum an ISBN number (That has been given)
  2. Sales numbers - You have to consider this with the usual number of Buddhist books and not compare this with Harold Robbins or Dan Brown. Any how, we can always contact the publishers. Unless we hear from the publishers that the book does not sell, WP:V of non-notability does not ariseDoctor Bruno 20:00, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per Tychocat, couldn't have said it better myself. --Wine Guy Talk 01:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. One of my high school teachers wrote a couple of books, too, but that doesn't make him notable enough for Wikipedia either. Mabybe Aziz Kristof will become notable some day, but that time hasn't come. -/- Warren 23:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
