• As Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alan W. Hansen has comments like "fails WP:BIO quite miserably", "vanity", and comment saying it verges on CSD, when this article here is not like that, I don't think these persons/articles are equivalent. Also, whereas Hansen has no books on Amazon and judging from the other comments probably had no mention of any writings, Fulton has several books, though not especially popular. —Centrx→talk • 14:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:BIO. Subject is not notable. Subject has four books (one, a reprint). The highest amazon.com sales rank for any of them is # 2,002,170. Article doesn't even mention him in the context of being an author (supposedly his notability). Article is about his ministry, not his book writing. Maybe if his books are the subject of multiple, independent, non-trivial reviews that could be cited (as per Wikipedia:Notability (books))? But as is, just being a published author is not sufficient to make one notable. Scorpiondollprincess 14:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
